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.

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.
