Activity 1
Activity name: Putting Letters on the Top of the Coconut Tree
Age group: 3-4
Objective(s): They will be working on letter identification and formation.
Developmental domain addressed: By the children working together, they will be working on communication by having to recognize what letter goes where and social/emotional by working with each other to make the tree. This also will address physical as they will be walking and using their hands to put the letter on the tree.
Environmental arrangement: This activity takes place in the classroom by the white board where the teacher will hang the coconut tree.
List of materials: Chicka Chika boom book, Coconut tree, letters with magnets …show more content…
Teacher and children draw a coconut tree on construction paper. Then put the tree up on the chalkboard. Then the teacher gives each child a letter, as the teacher read the story when a child’s letter comes up in the story they are to walk up to the tree and put it up. Furthermore, as the story goes on as the letters fall of the child will go take the letter down as it was falling off.
Quick ideas for follow-up activities: As a follow-up activity I could give the children celery with peanut butter and alphabet cereal have them glue on letters that they remember are in the story.
