In the middle of the jungle, there is a happy jaguar named Joanna. She loves to explore and have fun. Joanna runs and jumps through the green trees and colorful flowers. She is always full of energy and excitement!
Joanna has a special surprise for her friend, the jackrabbit. She carries jellybeans and a jar of jam. Even though her friend lives far away, Joanna wants to share these treats because she cares about her friend. This shows how much she values their friendship.
This story is all about the letter “J.” We see it in Joanna’s name, her friend the jackrabbit, and the jellybeans and jam she carries. The letter J is everywhere in this adventure, making it fun to learn and read!
Joanna the Jaguar’s journey is more than just a walk through the jungle. It’s a lovely reminder of how nice it is to have friends and to share with them. Friendship and sharing bring joy to everyone!
Jungle Sound Hunt: Go on a “sound hunt” around your home or classroom to find objects that start with the letter “J.” For example, you might find a jar, a jacket, or a juice box. Once you’ve found some items, share them with your friends and talk about how they are similar to the things Joanna the Jaguar found in her jungle adventure.
Friendship Bracelet Craft: Just like Joanna shares with her friend, let’s make friendship bracelets! Use colorful beads and string to create a bracelet for a friend. As you make your bracelet, think about why your friend is special to you and how sharing can make you both happy.
Jungle Adventure Drawing: Draw a picture of Joanna the Jaguar’s jungle adventure. Include all the things that start with the letter “J” from the story, like jellybeans and jam. Imagine what other “J” things Joanna might find in the jungle and add them to your drawing. Share your artwork with the class and explain your jungle adventure story.
