Chicka Chicka Boom Boom!!!

This week we are looking at the story "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom!" We read it for the first time yesterday - stopping of course to sing the ABC song when we saw the entire alphabet on the first pages. The preschoolers painted their arms and hands to make coconut trees. Our small groups include: Zoo Phonics, a letter match game, and working independently on different alphabet puzzles. Today we listened to a tape of the Chick Chicka story read by Ray Charles. We didn't look at the book but imagined what the pictures look like as we listened. We finished our coconut tree pictures by sticking on the letters of our names. Some are climbing up the tree and some are climbing down. We hung them on our back wall using an AB pattern. I'll put a picture on tomorrow when everyone finishes theirs. In the gym we tried some balancing activities with balance boards and little half circles that you can make a path out of to balance on.
