I have to admit the J lapbook was a difficult one for me… I had the toughest time coming up with good ideas. Ah well, D is next (for dinosaurs, yay!) and I’ve already got a good hundred ideas floating around in my head.
So, here we go… our J j Lapbook:
That’s the inside. No craft on the front as of yet.First, Things that Begin with J:
This is a standard for all our letter lapbooks. We go through the pictures and reinforce the beginning sound. M enjoys this very much for some reason. It kind of ends up as a chant… j-j-j-jellybeans, j-j-j-jackhammer, j-j-j-jumprope.Next, Color Sequencing with Jellybeans:
Now, admittedly these jellybeans are a bit larger than regular jellybeans, and M did call them eggs as they were printing out, but he believed me when I told him they were jellybeans. :) There are 5 colors and 3 jellybeans for each color. M will sequence them from darkest to lightest or vice versa.
Number Sequencing with Jars:
Pretty simple here – just sequencing the jars from 1 to 5. Then we’ll count our jellybeans from above onto the jars:
Jack and Jill Poem Sequencing Cards:
The sequencing cards are from here. And there are 4 of them; I was missing one when I took the picture. I added a little card that has the poem on it too. I printed the sequencing cards much smaller than the originals, making them each 3”x2” so they will fit into the lapbook pocket.Big J and Little j Sorting:
This is simple and pretty self-explanatory. M loves jackhammers (and all things destructive), so I’m sure he’ll enjoy this. In the future I may print the letters in various fonts too, but for now a simple sort seems best.The back of the lapbook has one last pocket, Dot-to-dot J and j Letter Tracing:
These are laminated so M can practice on them with a dry-erase or window marker over and over again.All of these activities are available for downloading and printing here. Like I always say, you don’t have to make lapbook! Just use them for activity packs or whatever! ;)
Have a beautiful day! :)
