We try to keep a...OK, you asked for I and J ideas. We try to keep all of our vowels with the short sound, so that makes it harder. We do a lot of measuring and talking about inches, make a letter "I" out of copies of rulers, sing Itsy Bitsy spider, and do a lot of stuff about imagination. If you are doing the long I sound you could throw in activities with ice and make homemade ice cream.<br /><br />J is much easier. We make homemade juice with different kinds of juicers, have a jelly bean tasting activity with Jelly Bellies, glue jewels on lots of stuff and hide J items in people's jacket pockets. We also do it during Halloween season and do a lot with Jack-o-lanterns. Another easy activity is to get a candlestick and let the kids taking turns jumping over it while you say, "Jack Be Nimble." You can also do jumping songs (Raffi's "Shake the sillies out"), jump over the jump rope that you move like a snake, make Jell-O jigglers, juggle, make anything out of milk jugs or jars, have a jungle theme....anyway, J is one of my favorites.<br /><br />Good luck. I will check the plan book (my friend keeps it at the preschool) and see if there is anything really good that I am forgetting. <br /><br />PS I loved your acorn texture box. It is amazing how long kids stay interested in things like that.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04666401587067899752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23556887.post-58986644896522862382010-09-10T12:02:45.292-05:002010-09-10T12:02:45.292-05:00You have been busy!
