Materials Required: variety
Activity Time: 10-20 minutes
Concepts Taught: Letter recognition, sound and shape

I carried this idea over from another school and several teachers, i have no idea where it orginated and its not even that original but i love it.

For every letter in the alphabet we do an art activity. I run copies on constuction paper of the letter either drawn in large black marker lines that the children trace with glue to apply objects, or i draw large block style letters that they apply the objects to the inside of the letter. I usually do both capitol and lower when i use the lines, in block style i just do capitol. which style really depends on what we are applying. As the year progesses if i do it in block style i have them cut out the letter as well. both ways work well and offer a nice variety. here are the things i have used and remember right now. of course these are just isuggestions you can come up with better ones im sure, and email them to me:)
