Spelling...We worked on spelling JET this week. I wrote the word and drew a picture on our dry erase board. Each day I had Little Bit spell and sound out the word.

...tray with magnetic letters and cards with words {JET, JAR, JAM}. Little Bit placed the corresponding letters over the letters on the cards...while sounding out each letter.

Dot to Dot...jack-in-the-box. This is a great exercise for getting letters in the correct order and drawing lines!

Activity Shelf...marble transfer to suction mat; felt clothes line; color shade matching; nuts & bolts {matching sizes & threading nut on bolt}; counting jelly beans; sorting blocks by color

Exercise...jumping!

Computer time...Starfall {we worked in the ABC section with the letter J} and Fisher Price{they have some great learning games and online coloring pages}.

...Little Bit also loves to get in some computer time when we go the library. They have computers set up in the children's area with games, stories, etc. Her favorite one to do is Just Grandma & Me by Mercer Mayer. She puts on the headphones and watches/listens to the story! Another one she is getting into is Jump Start PreK.
