Welcome to story time, friends! My name is Miss Sharon, and I am so happy are joining us. Today we are going to be learning about the alphabet!

Let’s start with our good morning song!

Good Morning Song

Good morning, friends   (big wave)

What do you say?   (cup hand around mouth)

It’s going to be   (bring arms above head into circle

A beautiful day!   (bring arms down)

So clap your hands,   (clap hands)

And stomp your feet.   (stomp feet)

Jump up and down   (jump up and down)

And have a seat.   (slowly sit down)

Flannel Story: CHICKA CHICKA BOOM BOOM

A told B and B told C,

“I’ll meet you at the top of the coconut tree.”

“Whee,” said D to E, F, G,

“I’ll beat you to the top of the coconut tree.”

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom,

Will there be enough room?

Here comes H up the coconut tree.

And I and J and tag-along K—

All on their way up the coconut tree.

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom,

Will there be enough room?

Look who’s coming—it’s L, M, N, O, P,

And Q, R, S, and T, U, V. Still more—W and X, Y, Z.

The whole alphabet’s up the…

Oh! No! Chicka Chicka Boom Boom!

Skit, scat, scoodle-doot,

Flip, flop, flee.

Everybody running to the coconut tree.

Mamas and papas and uncles and aunts

Hug their little dears

Then dust their pants.

 

Craft: Alphabet Coconut Tree

Pick up a craft kit from the Youth Services department or the drive-up window to make your own alphabet tree! Available while supplies last. Your kit includes a paper towel tube, 4 construction paper leaves, and foam alphabet letters. You will need scissors for this craft.

Instructions:

  • Cut out the leaves. Cut a slit in the leaf where indicated.
  • Stick the alphabet letters on the paper towel tube.
  • Place the leaves on top of the paper towel tube.

Now you have a Chicka Chicka Boom Boom tree!
