Chicka Chicka Boom Large Group:

Each student gets to pick a card with a letter on it.We are going to read the book, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and as we read their letter, they get to come and tape it on our coconut tree. After we read the book, we have a fast, fun song version of the book that we dance to.

Apple, Apple, A, A, A Large Group:

We have a book with pictures and music based on the song in this music video (called, "Do You Know These Letter Sounds?"):

We love it because it teaches letter recognition and sounds through music and the students love listening and signing to it with us. During our large group, we will sing this song with our picture book of letters and then sing it again with each student's name (example: Cleone, Cleone, C, C, C) using the letter cards.

If you would like a copy of these letter cards, here is the link (Link to Full Size Alphabet). They are on 8x11.5 paper but you can print four to a page if you would like them smaller. I also uploaded the shapes we used a couple weeks ago if you would like a copy of those as well (Link to Shapes from the week of September 8-11).
