One of my little kids’ favorite books is Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr.. It is highly requested throughout our entire school year and a great way to teach the letters of the alphabet. This year I have decided to add more preschool themes and activities to our school day, so we are definitely going to try some of these Chicka Chicka Boom Boom activities. In fact, we are going to have a Chicka Chicka Boom Boom theme week right at the beginning of our school year!
