Things That Start with J, January 11th and 12th, 2012


Begin by singing Raffi’s Shake My Sillies Out.

Book: (JOSEPH & JACKET) Joseph Had a Little Overcoat by Simms Taback.

Rhyme: (JUMBO & JET) Jumbo Jet.

The jumbo jet has great big wings
(arms outstretched).
Its propeller spins around and sings, “Vvvvvvvv!” 
(make one arm go round).

The jumbo jet goes up (lift arms)
The jumbo jet goes down (lowers arms)
The jumbo jet flies high (arms outstretched, turn body around)
Over the town!

Book: (JEEP) Sheep in a Jeep by Nancy Shaw; illustrated Margot Apple. 

Song: (JINGLE) Ring Those Bells from the compact disc, H.U.M. All Year Long. We passed out bells which the children rang throughout the song.

Book: (JANUARY) Snowballs by Lois Ehlert.

Rhyme: (JUNGLE) Five Little Monkeys Swinging in the Tree.

Book: (JUMP) Jump! by Scott M. Fischer. We used animal puppets along with the book and had the children jump with us throughout the story.
Jump! by Scott M. Fischer

Jokes: (JOKES) We told several jokes using a puppet. Good times.

Activity: (JACK) We recited the Jack Be Nimble nursery rhyme and had children jump over a candlestick.
