Lesson Planning with Me!: Chicka Chicka magnet letters

Lesson Planning with Me

Hello! I teach an integrated preschool classroom, which means I am responsible for students ages three to five with special needs of all types as well as typical developing students. My students range in ability from a toddler to a typical kindergartener. Therefore, my activities must be able to reach a wide range and be easily adjusted for multiple ability levels.

I created this blog as a way to keep track of the fantastic ideas I have gathered over the years. Because I just randomly add activities to the blog, use the search, standard list, or theme list on the left side to find the activities you are after!

I also create and sell resources that can be found at TeachersPayTeachers and Teacher's Notebook.

Chicka Chicka magnet letters

From Child Care Land:

For this activity, you need the monkey found here, a paint stick, a large paper clip, letters with magnets on the back or magnetic letters.

Glue the monkey to the stick. Be sure to put the large paper clip behind the white square.

Lay out the letters, face down, on the table. You could also hold them with you.

In turn, say something like, "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, what letter do you see?" while picking up a letter.

Show the students the letter, allow them time to name the letter before going on to the next one.

This would be a fun way of assessing letter knowledge and sound associations.
