J Books

When I started the Alphabet project, I figured I'd have trouble with certain letters--Q, X, Y. But I wasn't prepared for the trouble with J! I only found a couple of books, and only one of those turned out worth sharing.

Jessica by Kevin Henkes. I am a Kevin Henkes fan, and as my name is Jessica and I used to have an imaginary friend (named April), I just adore this story of a girl and her imaginary friend and what happens when said girl must start kindergarten. It is a fun story and the type is great for looking for letters, though really the only Js were in the name Jessica.

Do you have any suggestions for J books?

Jump Rope

For our J activity, I taught Emma how to jump rope. Or tried, anyway. Emma was great at the jumping but her timing was off--though she didn't care much anyway. No pictures because it's kind of difficult to turn the rope and take pictures at the same time.

I have been neglecting this blog for a long time, but I have been keeping track of what we've been doing with our letters and will try to get back to regular updates. If you're still out there, thanks for reading!
