Learning Objectives

Students will be able to identify words that begin with the letter J. Students will be able to act out a nursery rhyme. Students will be able to sequence a nursery rhyme.

Lesson

Introduction (5 minutes)

Explicit Instruction/Teacher Modeling (25 minutes)

  • Ask students what words they heard that begin with the letter J.
  • Write the J words on the whiteboard, and highlight Jack and Jill.
  • Write the Jack and Jill nursery rhyme on the board, saying it as you write.
  • Read the rhyme line by line, and have students follow and repeat: Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water. Jack fell down and broke his crown, and Jill came tumbling after.
  • Discuss the meaning of words that they may not know, such as fetch. Explain that this means to go get something and bring it back. Explain that crown means the top of a person's head.
  • After they can say the rhyme, discuss safety with students. Ask questions about how it might feel to fall down and ways that they could have prevented their fall.

Guided Practice/Interactive Modeling (10 minutes)

  • Select various students to act out the nursery rhyme.
  • Have students role play being Jack and Jill several times while the class says the rhyme.

Independent Working Time (10 minutes)

  • Have students color the Jack and Jill coloring page and color the letters J a specific color.
