TREMENDOUS TUESDAY: MEET JACOB
If you’ve ever walked into Anchor Center in the morning, you’ve probably been greeted by Jacob’s bright smile. As his mum wheels him into school, his joyful energy fills the room—he truly has a way of lifting everyone around him.
Now in his second year of preschool, Jacob has had the chance to connect with even more classmates and teachers. His friends adore him so much that whenever he’s absent, the first thing they do is ask where he is!
Jacob is an incredibly hard‑working learner. He communicates in thoughtful, subtle ways, often through his expressive facial cues or by using his BigMac switches. Even with the physical challenges he faces, he rarely complains and consistently pushes himself beyond expectations. His enthusiasm for learning and his impressive stamina make him such a special part of the classroom.
One of Jacob’s favorite ways to explore is by lying on a wedge so he can use his hands more freely to play and discover alongside his friends. He loves tactile experiences, especially water play and making music, so these are woven into his learning every day. His natural curiosity shines through in everything he does.
Jacob participates fully in all Anchor Center activities. He enjoys playing with friends at the start of the day, joining yoga with the help of an adult (he especially loves the animal poses!), and making choices during circle time. And of course, everyone knows when Jacob is here, he proudly adds his voice to the “welcome to school” song.
Jacob has grown so much during his time at Anchor Center. His ability to learn, apply new skills, and spread happiness wherever he goes makes him a truly beloved part of our community.
