This week we dove into our “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom” unit based on the book by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault. Here is a look at the corresponding activities for the week!
Morning Meeting: This week we read the story, “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom” in many different ways! On Monday we did a classic read aloud. On Tuesday we watched an interactive YouTube video based on the book. Later in the week, we read the story and placed magnetic letters on the whiteboard as we heard them in the book. The kiddos really liked this activity! It is fun to read the same book in a variety of ways!
Zoo Phonics: This week we learned the letters “C” and “D.” Ask your child if they remember what “Catina Cat” and “Dee Dee Deer” say! Do they know the hand motions that go with the letter sounds?
Language Arts: The kiddos went on a letter hunt in the sensory bin. They had to use tweezers to pull out a letter and then find the matching letter on their Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Letter Mat. Once they found the letter they stamped it out using dot paint. The children also participated in a letter pick up! We scattered alphabet letters on the rug and the kids picked up the letters in ABC order. They practiced both lowercase and uppercase letters!

Math: We rolled dice, counted the dots and then colored in the correct number on our Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Tree Mat. We also played, "Where's that Crazy Coconut?" The kiddos had a blast playing the game and practicing identifying numbers.
Fine Motor: To practice both our fine motor skills and counting we strung coconuts (beads) on pipe-cleaner coconut trees!
Magnetic Letter Match: The kiddos practiced naming the letters and finding their match on the white board.
STEAM Challenge: Can you build an alphabet tree? How many letters does it hold? Our Pre-K kids LOVED this challenge!
