Some weeks are so scarce for ideas and then there are weeks like 'J' in which I can't find the time for all the 'J' things I think of! Plus, we were leading up to Easter and doing fun things for that. It doesn't really matter what we do, we have a ton of fun and Aria is always learning!
Bible: Well, we were opening Resurrection Eggs every morning and reading the Easter story a lot, which does fit with 'J' since it is about Jesus. We also read a couple of Aria's favorites, Jonah and Jericho. Jericho is really only a fun when you act it out with marching, trumpeting, loud cheering, and knocking things over...
Activities: A couple of our activities also fit in the food category. We checked out a fiction book about jellybeans, so we read that book several times while eating jellybeans. Aria was really excited about the jellybeans until she found a flavor she didn't particularly care for, then she no longer liked any of them. So, we made a 'J' by gluing jellybeans to a piece of card stock. It was way more fun than tracing one and cutting it out!
The other food activity was Jello Jigglers! I chose grape based on the color, not the flavor, in hopes of Aria being excited to try something new to eat. Well, she was very excited about making them and even claimed they were like fruit snacks, one of her favorites, but in the end she said, "no like Jello Jigglers." At least it was fun to make them!
People We Know: Jesus, Julie, Justin, Papa John, Papa John (yes there are 2), Grandma Jackie (her namesake), Jena, Jaime, Jeremiah, Jenny, Jenny, Joey, Jon, James, Josie, Jen, Josiah, Jordyn, Jared....and Mommy knows even more!
Food: jellybeans, Jello Jigglers, jambalaya, jelly, peanut butter and jelly pancakes
Pictures to Color: jump rope, Jesus, jack-in-the-box, jellyfish
Books: We did go to the library this week and found some great ones! The Jellybeans and the Big Book Bonanza by Numeroff, Let's Leap and Jump, My J Sound Box by Moncure, and two non-fiction books about jellyfish and jaguars. The jellybean book was fun to read and eat jellybeans and the leap and jump book was fun to leap and jump with!
Songs: Jesus Loves Me, Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho, Who Did Swallow Jonah
