One of my favorite weeks of the school year is when we get to read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom! every day. The students are so excited by day 3 because they know some of the words. It's fun as their teacher to see them make connections between letters in their names and letters in the book.
Resources for this book are unlimited on TPT, but I will show you a few examples of what we do. These are all ideas shared with me.
My students enjoyed making a quilt of coconut trees.
This was one of their favorites. A coworker of mine has foam letters that we trace and cut out. The kids get the first letter of their names to decorate. Then in the hallway we make our own Chicka Chicka Boom Boom tree.
Most of my students never have tasted coconut milk. I bring in a coconut and before they can see or smell the milk, they guess what it will look like, smell like, taste like, etc.
Then we try the milk and most students do not like it! (The teacher doesn't like it! :) )
We graph our data and use many math skills with this single graph.
And to finish the week, Youtube has a Chicka Chicka Boom Boom video the kids can sing along to. Below is the link
Enjoy!
