Whew! That was a lot of work but not nearly as much work as the students did all year long while studying those letters! Read on below to see what the students did to commemorate the school year and also their exploration of the alphabet!
After presenting a wide assortment of alphabet shares, the students learned that they would be working on a super special activity. This activity would be so special, it would require not one morning work session but rather a full week of morning work in order to complete it! The students looked puzzled when the teachers explained that the students would be working together to BECOME the alphabet! The students could hardly contain their excitement; they could not wait to get started!
After morning meeting, the students headed to their morning activity stations. As each name was called, the students headed over to discuss how to create their assigned letter. The taller friends took care of the longer parts of the letter while the shorter friends proved very useful in completing the letter shapes! A few strategically folded legs, several hardworking days and Voilà – the students had created the…
What a great job they did!

On Monday and Tuesday afternoon, the students put their alphabet knowledge to the test when they worked together to create a “Food Alphabet” and an “Animal Alphabet”. In order to do so, the students needed to name an animal for EACH letter of the alphabet – even the ones at the end! Be sure to check out the Food Alphabet from Monday!
The letter shaping continued into Wednesday and Thursday and so did Spanish class. The students completed the last week of the unit – La Ropa. By Friday afternoon, the final few letters were added and the “PPA Alphabet” was complete! In order to commemorate the students’ learning and hard work all throughout the 2016-2017 school year, the teachers led a technology presentation on Friday afternoon displaying all of the students’ letters! They had such a fun time identifying which letter was on the screen, especially when the teachers showed the letters out of order! Take a look below to try it for yourselves!
Which letters do you see?
Did you say…?
Way to go!! Do you know what B-E-D spells?
Here is a hint…
