Chicka Chicka Boom Boom

Last week in Evan's Friday folder he brought home numerous pieces of his work from the week. I wanted to share this piece he did in Art class because well... I thought he did a great job, and I'm a proud mom. He's come a long way in such a short time with his drawings and coloring that I'm very impressed with his work. You all know the children's book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, right? Well if you're not familiar with it here's what it looks like.


It's a story about the alphabet with great rhyming text. The young letters (lowercase letters) climb up the coconut tree in alphabetical order (of course). However, when they all get to the top the tree can't hold them and Chicka Chicka Boom Boom they all fall down. Not to worry though, with the help of their adult friends (uppercase letters) they come to the rescue and help the lowercase letters get untangled in alphabetical order. The story ends with "a" daring the others to climb the tree again which leads to kids wanting the read the story over and over. The great repetition of "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" really gets kids involved to chant along with the words. A great book for young learners!

Now that you have the little synopsis of the book and you saw what it looks like. I'm about to show you my Evan's version of the book cover. In Art class they had to paint the cover of the book using their hands and sponges for the tree. Then they had to find the letter stampers with the letters in their name and stamp on their paper. Here's Evan's masterpiece! I think he did a great job, don't you?
