Will There Be Enough Room?
This unit is always a favorite...of mine and the munchkins!
We always begin with a reading of the story, which is so very interactive and fun. Then we use our pocket chart to practice the repetitive text, one-to-one reading, and sight word recognition. It reinforces alphabet letters, too, as we add different letters to our blow up tree.
It's always funny when our tree gets too full of letters and...
Chicka, Chicka, Boom, Boom!
We take some time to make our own little Chicka Chicka Tree. We fill it with all sorts of letters, just like in the story.
We also have fun searching for and working with letters throughout this unit.
Whether it be our letter bingo game...
Or the sand box filled with letters at the science center...
Or the fun little letter games we created at center time...
The munchkins had tons of fun with letters!
But we also learned all about the coconut tree...
Its life cycle...
It's many parts...
And what all those parts do for the tree.
We practiced several math concepts too.
Like patterning at the math center...
And working on patterning jobs at center time...
We also counted coconuts into the coconut tree...
And some of those malted milk balls coconuts were soooo yummy!
We enjoyed listening to the story on tape...
And getting our paints out to make our own version of the Chicka Chicka Tree.
But probably the most fun was the recipe!!
We made the Chicka Chicka tree!
It was complete with roots, trunk, leaves, coconuts and letters!
Chicka, Chicka!
Boom! Boom!
Until next time...
Giggles,
Mrs. D.
