RHYMES

Jack and Jill
Jack and Jill went up the hill
to fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after
(Use some good videos/images so that the students understand what is going on in the rhyme. You can do the same learning activities as with Humpty Dumpty.)

Johnny Johnny
Johnny, Johnny?
Yes, Papa
Eating sugar?
No, Papa
Telling lies?
No, Papa
Open Your mouth!
Ha! Ha! Ha!

BOOKS

ACTIVITIES

The Letter J Coloring sheet is a good reinforcement of the vocabulary words. Try to repeat the words a lot while the kids are coloring so that they remember the words and the J sound.

The paper plate jellyfish craft is super easy! If you can't find paper plates, you can always cut semi-circles out of a thick white paper. Review the parts of the body by asking the kids to draw "eyes, mouth and nose" on the jellyfish.

You can use whatever is available to you for the tentacles. I like to use gift wrapping ribbon, but other ideas are tissue paper, construction paper, pipe cleaners, or even newspaper! I recommend also watching some jellyfish videos so that kids can connect what they are crafting with the actual animal. Its not one that they see every day!
