Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom is a fun, interactive book about the alphabet, both capital and lowercase going up a coconut tree. I use this book when I am teaching my pre-k students about trees!

For this project, I am asking for 6 Chicka Chicka Boom Boom trees with Velcro letters.

These will be used during small group time. As I read the story, students will find the letters and act out the story. This is fun, interactive and will help students with letter recognition.

These trees and letters will benefit many students for many years.

Thank you for your support!
