Our Alphabet is Under Construction!

Today we started off the week with our first book, Alphabet Under Construction. In the book, a mouse builds each letter of the alphabet. The students had fun learning about different tools and then recalling which letters were buttoned, sawed, and zipped (B, S, and Z!). After seeing the different ways the mouse constructed each letter, the students each got their own letter to construct using buttons, feathers, beads, sequins, pom-poms, and other materials. The letters came out looking fantastic! Here is our entire alphabet, with a few close-ups of some impressive hand-built letters!
