Chicka Chicka Boom Boom

On Friday we had a little fun with the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.  Both girls love reading it and I thought we could add a little "excitment" to reading time on this particular day. 

First we read the book...Mia likes to "read" it to us .

We then reread the book;

  this time using our magnetic letters to find, identify, and then add each letter to our board, as we read each page. 

(Macie wanted in on the action as well).

After finishing our reading and creating the alphabet on our board, we sang the alphabet and practiced recalling the sounds that go along with the letters.  Next we used our letters to make words.

Finally, we hopped on the computer

and watched a variety of "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" videos on youtube.com. 

I know I had fun with this activity and my hope is that the girls gained further exposure to literature, letter and sound identification, the beginning understanding that individual letters can be put together to make words, and to see the book "brought to life" with music and motion on the computer.  If I could squeeze it into our day, I would do activities like this everyday....one can dream, right? :)
