Nursery Rhyme - Jack and Jill


Kaleb is currently working through his kindergarten year and, as an extra part of his school, he is working through Nursery Rhymes. We are using Literature Pockets - Nursery Rhymes as our spine. This week's rhymes was Jack and Jill.


After reading the rhymes each day, Kaleb worked through a Jack and Jill sequence activity. This free printable was from Melissa Moran (link below).


We discussed labeling and he labeled several items from the Jack and Jill Rhyme. This was also a free printable from Melissa Moran (link below).


He bandaged Jack's cuts and scrapes using the printable from the Nursery Rhyme book.


He made some Jack ad Jill tp puppets. This free printable was from Homeschool Share (link below).


We discussed opposites and he worked on a mini booklet of opposite words in the rhyme...up/down, in/out etc...


We spent some time creating block hills and sending Jack and Jill down them. We measured how far they rolled. Then, he would make the hill taller and see if the puppets rolled farther.


Kaleb weighed different items around the house against the puppets. He loves when I bring the balance/scale out. Which one is heavier? Or lighter? On to Little Miss Muffet and...a possible hurricane/tropical storm. Hope to see you soon.
