Chicka Chicka Boom Boom

I LOVE starting the year with Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr.

Here are some of our activities that we do.

I send these postcards to my students before the beginning of the year.

This is my coconut tree that I have in my room.

I made it many years ago out of pvc pipe, wire, and fun foam.  I got a thicker piece of pvc pipe and had it cut at Home Depot.  I hot glued pieces of brown fun foam to the outside of the pipe. Out of the large size pieces of different shades of green fun foam, I cut the large leaves.  Then I weaved wire through the leaves and stuck them trhough the top of the pipe.  I used small pieces of wood to build a stand to hold the pipe.

I have the video. This one is from schooltube.

         

 We explore coconuts.  Find out how to open them up at http://www.howtoopenacoconut.com/.
