Making teaching the ABC's and Numbers to the 3 to 5 population can be fun or someone challenging, I'm looking for a few good ideas to help extend my curriculum for a 2 week unit. Can any one help.

HI Maria, I did a theme on these books and it was SOOoo fun! I found coconut pictures online and printed them out, added numbers on one set and ABC's on the other and then laminated them so they would last. I made additional sets for my flannel board. I purchased the Chicka Chikca Boom Boom DVD from scholastics and used it for our "movie time" on Friday (I always try to make our video about what we are learning about). I also made smaller coconuts for counting activities and number and alphabet shapes for many other activities as well. If you like making your maerials, you can do a lot with this theme and not have to send a ton of money. Mindy Sagmoen from Small Paws Preschool and Daycare in Fairplay Colorado |
