All about Joey

I like football, tennis and being helpful.
But I like being funny as well.
My mum says I’m cute.

By Tolka Butcher

Tolka went to a jungle pool.

The giraffe was in the water.

The tiger jumped into the water.
It was freezing cold!
He was sad.
The tiger jumped and he was happy.

The giraffe came out of the pool.
The tiger came out of the pool.

The tiger was dancing.
Giraffe said, “Stop dancing.”
The tiger did not stop.

The giraffe and the tiger danced.

The giraffe can’t dance.

The tiger did a happy dance.
He was tired.
The tiger, giraffe, spider, lion, gorilla, monkey, and zebra were all in the pool!

Note: Joey spontaneously wrote that note on the computer in Microsoft Word while I was upstairs putting Tolka to bed tonight. "Tolka's Jungle" was the result of a project over the break where we did MANY activities related to jungles, and he learned how to sight read many jungle-related words. He made up the story and acted it out with animals and a box lined with blue plastic. Joey took photos, and we 'published' our own little book. They both have such great imaginations. (PS- we have a book called 'Giraffes Can't Dance' which is a lovely story about how everyone can dance when you find the music that moves you...) SIB
