Chicka Chicka Boom Boom

This week at school, we continued to read books written and/or illustrated by Lois Ehlert.  We enjoyed the books "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" and "Chicka Chicka 1, 2, 3". 

Take a look at some of the activities we did this week related to these stories.

We played the "Chicka Chicka" letter find game using bingo dabbers.  It was fun trying to match letters and their sounds!

We made our very own "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" coconut trees!

We became authors!  Each student made their very own page for our class "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Kindergarten" big book.  

The book "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" is about a coconut tree.  We investigated coconuts using our 5 senses.  Mrs. Stecher cracked open a coconut.  We passed it around and shared our observations.

We had a taste test using coconut.  We made a tally chart to show how many friends liked the taste of coconut and how many friends did not like the taste of coconut.  We discovered more friends liked the taste of coconut.  

Have you heard of "Hot Potato"?  Well, we played "Hot Coconut".    The children had to pass the coconut quickly.  When the music stopped, the friend holding the coconut had to pick out of the mystery bag and identify the letter/number that was picked.  

We recorded all the letters/numbers picked during the "Hot Coconut" game on chart paper.

Here is a link to the "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" song we enjoyed this week.
