ABC--Join me in the Coconut Tree!

Theme: Alphabet

Choosing Time: Potato Heads, Blocks, Animals, Magnetic ABC's, Writing Practice, ABC Laundry (We sorted our alphabet laundry and matched it with a corresponding clothespin to hang up on the clothesline), & "Our Friends" Memory

Science: We touched, smelled, and shook a coconut. We used many great adjectives to describe our experience. We listened to the sloshing sound it made and some guessed that water may be inside. Next week we will open it to find out!

Snack: Thank you Byron for a fun snack today! Byron and his Mom choose to highlight the Letter "O." We enjoyed the Oreos and Oranges!

Music & Movement:
  • ABC's
  • ABC's in the Coconut Tree (We learned a fun new ABC song. I would sing and we all danced. When the song finished I called out an alphabet letter and then we made that letter with our bodies)
ABCDE I'm in the jungle in a coconut tree
FGHIJ Do you want to come and play?
KLMNOPQ I will bring a friend or two
RSTUV A zebra and a chimpanzee
WXYZ We'll play until it's time for bed (I sing "sleep")
  • Clap the Crazies...(We clapped the crazies, skipped the skitters, jumped the jiggles, shook the sillies, ran the rowdies, and twirled the twisties)

Book: Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr. & John Archambault
