Child Created ABC Letter Line

8/17/2015

I am in need of a ABC Letter Line in my group meeting area.

But...

There are no walls to place it on. I have tried putting one up on the back side of the shelves, but it never lasted long and was a huge pain in the @%&*. So I gave up.

Until I had a teacher dream. I know I'm not the only one who has those dreams admit it, it's ok to have teacher dreams it means that we are passionate about our jobs.

Supplies

Pipe Floor Flange Fittings
90degree angle PVC elbow
PVC Pipe
Black Spray Paint
4x5 Canvas Panels
Curtain Rod Rings with Clips
Coloration Liquid Water Colors

Children used the liquid water colors to paint the canvases.

Children glued on collage material to form the letters with.
We used

Yellow Popcorn
Red Popcorn
Small Buttons
Sticks
Small Sea Shells
White Beans
Black Beans
Brocken Sea Glass
Small Acorn Tops

The finished product BEAUTIFUL!

That is lovely! Vibrant, functional, and so much more personal than commercially produced ABC lines. One of my aims as a new Pre-K teacher, is to fill our room with student work; what a nice way to bring student-created resources front and center. I used to have "waitressing nightmares," but hope to one day also have "teacher dreams" of this variety, that actually inspire and help make our classroom, a dream come true :)

Did you pencil draw each letter on their paper or just draw with glue moments before they started adding their collage materials?

I drew on the canvas with pencil before we put the glue on and collaged them.
