J is for Japan

This week we worked on the Letter J.  We spent a few days practicing writing upper and lower case j's.  Then yesterday we had a mini lesson on Japan.  Why Japan? Because Grandma and Grandpa live there of course!  With some help from Grandma (thanks!) this is the lesson we had.  We drew each main island on a separate piece of paper.  We labeled them all, and talked about islands.  Since Grandma and Grandpa live in the southern most island, Kyushu, we started at the northern most, Hokkaido.

why yes Princess R that is where Grandma and Grandpa live!

  We jumped, jiggled, and jived our way from Hokkaido, to Honshu, to Shikoku, and finally to Kyushu to see Grandma and Grandpa.  At this point Princess V asked if we could go to Grandma and Grandpa's.  I told her it would take a whole day and we'd have to get on a plane.  Her response was we'd better bring lots of books.
