Chicka Chicka Boom Boom!!!
We Promote “Healthy” Snack Eating with the Curriculum in our Classrooms!Mrs. Rhone and Mrs.
Skal are co-teaching in the afternoon on Fun Friday! Fun Friday is the time when these two kindergarten classes meet together to do special projects related to our curriculum and state standards. Co-Teaching is a research-based instructional method that allows the children to experience more than one style of teaching. In addition, both of the teachers improve their craft from watching one another teach your children! As an incentive for students to obey our school rules, children need to have a strong “Ready to Learn” or above track record on our behavior charts to be a participant vs. an observer in our Fun Friday activities. This Friday both Kindergarten classes listened and participated with musical instruments in this rhythmic chant entitled,
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin, Jr., & John Archambault & Lois
Ehlert. By doing so, the students practiced skills such as: syllable counting and letter identification. After the students followed sequential directions (application of ordinal numbers from our math & new literacy series) to make the healthy snack pictured above, a variety of
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom learning centers reinforcing literacy skills were available for the students’ participation. Students were given the opportunity to try celery, apples and peanut butter. Our hope is that some children will request their parents to bring this inexpensive, simple recipe in for classroom snack.
