How many letters can a Chicka Chicka coconut tree hold?
Our TK students recently read the story “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.” Upon completion of the book, the students went to the newly developed STEAM lab to make their own Chicka Chicka coconut trees. The students were given blocks (for the tree trunks), green popsicle sticks (for the leaves), and foam letters. They had to create their own tree and see which tree could hold the most letters without falling over! They used teamwork, collaboration, and trial and error to find out which tree held the most letters. The winning coconut tree held 22 letters.
