Alphabet Party~

Since we recently finished learning about our alphabet.  We had an alphabet party.  I asked that each student wear a green shirt and brown pants and if they didn't have these colors to wear a tree color (yellow, orange, red).  We made our own Chicka, Chicka, Boom, Boom hats.  We also picked out foam letters and stuck them to our shirts so we looked like the actually coconut tree.  We had so much fun making our costumes.  

 We also did different alphabet activities through-out the day.  We colored capital letters and matched them with their lowercase letter.  

We also played letter musical chairs and had a fun snack!  We had so much fun!

One of my favorite books is "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault.  I always do a unit in the fall with my class.  I started the year creating a coconut tree for our reading corner.  I got the idea from pinterest.  I used an old carpet roll and covered it with brown butcher paper.  Then I used an umbrella and covered it with green butcher paper leaves.  Make sure you start from the bottom and work your way to the inside of the umbrella.  I started from the middle and went out and I had to make it twice.  I then used foam letters I bought at Michaels to decorate the trunk of the tree.  I used a Christmas tree stand to make the tree stay upright.
