The Story Bots had lots of words that started with the /j/ sound! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bGQ-XlLk8M(link is external) We had 2 students with names starting with J, and we could think of lots more (especially some moms)!  The Sesame Street crew have some names that star with J too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKYMpRSvg2Y(link is external) We practiced making the letter J - both the upper case that stands on the line and the lower case that looks like a fish hook hanging in the water.  You will be able to see our paper Jack-O-lanterns when you come on Halloween, and we took some paper bag ones home today. We even carved a real one!! Check out the pictures!
