J and B

The week of October 22 followed along with our regular school day routine.  I add some additional fun Halloween songs to circle time, and Johanna continued with French lessons, penny whistle lessons,and writing practice.

On Monday, I told Julia, and Johanna, the next installment of the Super Sam story.  This week they have their Harvest Festival, and Super Sam brings pumpkin cookies, and tells a story about Jack Frost.  

I also introduced Johanna to the letter J.  We talked about the sound it makes, and she practiced writing it out. 


I told her how Katie collected water in Jugs for her family, and then I read her the fairy tale, The Water of Life.

After I finished with the story, Johanna and I drew pictures in our main lesson books.

On Tuesday, Johanna and I did a lot more fun activities with the letter J that went along with the poem in this book:


We acted out the poem, we clapped on the letters that began with J, Johanna did some juggling, we said the verse, "Jack be nimble, Jack be quick", and played a jumping game along with it, and finally we thought of some names that started with the letter J.


She also told me what she could remember about The Water of Life, and I wrote a summary of the story in her lesson book.


Since we were working with the letter J, I thought it would be a good time to show Johanna how to write her name.


The girls also helped me make pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.


On Wednesday, I introduced Johanna to the letter B, by telling her the story, How the Bear Lost It's Tail.



After I was done with the story, we drew pictures in our main lesson books.

On Thursday, Johanna re-told me the story of How the Bear lost it's Tail, and I wrote a summary in her lesson book.


We also did some more fun activities to re-enforce the letter B from the LMNOP book.
