Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
By jb

I am planning to use Chicka Chicka Boom Boom as my theme this year. I can do lots with it I believe; coconut trees and coconuts, and letters. It would also be easy to expand to an island or rainforest theme and add in monkeys,
parrots, or boats, fish etc.
I know I will make a big coconut tree to stand in one corner. Maybe as part of the reading center. I would like to have a hammock too.. but that will probably not happen. So I might just get one of those pet net hammocks used for stuffed animals and put a stuffed animal monkey in it.. who then can be our class mascot. There is one small one you can

buy from Lakeshore or somewhere for a desktop or center, or cheaper paper ones from Oriental Trading. I am thinking of buying several of those barrels of monkeys games and perhaps using those as a management system for each table. Like stringing out the monkeys.. or placing them in the barrel maybe whenever they are doing their job... and whichever table has the most will have extra recess or something... OR I may use it as a whole class system, where when the class earns enough monkeys.. they get a popcicle treat or something. I am just at the thinking stage right now.
