Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Month!!!

For the month of August we will be reading the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. This is a cute book that reviews that alphabet. For each day of the month, we will focus on one letter along with a fruit or vegetable that begins with that letter! So far, the children have really enjoyed it!! They like holding, investigating, and tasting different fruits and vegetables.

We constructed a coconut tree (like the one in the book) and will hang our daily creations from it. It was rather full with only 3 fruits on it, so we had to get creative for the 1st week (see pictures below)!

You will see that we covered:

A = apples (we also ate apricots)
B = bananas (we also ate blueberries)
C = carrots (we also opened up a coconut!!)
D = dates (we made oatmeal date cookies! Yum!)
E = eggplant
