Letter J

 Letter J was a fun one! We had a craft and an activity to go with the letter J for each day this week.

Monday, McCall made a jellyfish out of a paper bag. She first painted the bag the color she wanted her jellyfish. We let it dry and then after lunch is cut the tentacles with a little help from mom and put on googly eyes and drew on the cutest little smile.

Then we did some juice taste testing. We had apple juice, orange juice, and mango juice. Her favorite was the mango.

Tuesday, she created a jack-o-lantern. She cut out of big pumpkin and the face pieces then together we glued them on.

Then she did a jack-o-lantern matching game. I printed off a lot of different faces and she had to find the matches. She would give me a thumbs up when she found one. It is her new thing to agree or say good job and it's the cutest.

Wednesday, we started with a jewel craft. First, she traced the uppercase and lowercase J and then we have these cool jewel stickers that she put on the J's.

Then I got the musical instruments out and we played them while we listened to jazz music.

Thursday, she made a cute jaguar craft out the letter J. I cut out the J and glued it on and then drew the different pieces. McCall cut the pieces out and glued them on. Then I got some blank stamp ink out and she used her finger to put the dots of the jaguar. Then she added the cute face.

Then after lunch, she played in Jell-O. I got some cookie cutter out, a spoon, a small spatula, and a butter knife so that she could create, cut, and eat the Jell-O. She really enjoyed this and it was a fun tasty treat and a bonus is that she got to play with her food.

Friday, she did a jet craft. I cut out and glued on the lowercase j and then she cut out the different jet pieces and the clouds to finish her picture.

And our last activity of the week was jellybean sorting and counting. I put a pile of jellybeans on the table and then I had McCall sort them by color. Then we counted how many jellybeans were in each pile. Then of course we got to enjoy eating some of them and trying all the different flavors.

What a fun week! McCall loved preschool and is always ready to learn and try new things. Next week we will take a break with it being Thanksgiving and lots of time with family.
