****Guess what?! Letter of the Week lesson plans are getting an overhaul! I’m going through and updating all plans, adding new free worksheets and making sure all links are up to date! I’ve created a bunch of templates too for some of the crafts that’ll make your life a lot easier! Hang tight! It may take some time to get through all the letters, but it’s coming soon!! If you’re seeing this message, this post has already been updated!***
I’m just jumping with joy this jovial June day as I share this next lesson plan.
I wish blogs had emojis so you could see me rolling my eyes at myself.
Seriously though, I’ve got another great week of lessons lined up for you ! I even threw a couple of sweet snacks in there. There are lots of fun ideas that make great projects in the cool AC on these hot summer days!
Letter J Lesson Plan

Flashcards
By now you should be able to do lots of review games each day with your kiddo. Be sure to mix it up. You do not want them to just memorize the letters in ABC order. They need to know them independent of each other and out of sequence.
This weeks card should be practiced like this, “j-jam-/j/.”
Books
As you are reading these books, be sure you are emphasizing the sounds that you are working on each week. It’s a good idea to re-read books and search for J letters or /j/ sounds. Additionally, start the conversation about how pictures and sounds can be clues as you read.
If you have trouble finding this week’s books, don’t forget to check out Amazon for some great deals on used books!

This week’s tune is a relatable song about the many, many names that start with the letter J.
Crafts
My girls love pink and sparkles and all things girly, so they had a blast with this blingy craft!
We found some inexpesive stick on gems at Dollar General for like a buck a sheet. We even had some leftover for crafts later on.

My oldest had a horrible experience with a jelly fish a few years ago on a beach trip. So while this craft is cute, we are not a fan of jellyfish!

This sweet little jet craft was quick and easy to make! I’m not a fan of flying but this pic makes me want to travel!

This cute craft was lots of fun! We actually had to do a little Google search to learn that jaguars are spotted or black. This beautiful creatures are commonly misidentified as panthers.
Grab the free template here or below. Have fun adding the spots!
Of course this craft was easily the winner for the week! My girls enjoyed snacking on jelly beans while making this sweet craft.
We just cut out Js from black construction paper to get started.
