Sunny Days Alphabet

We sing alphabet songs every day.  We use a lot of Dr. Jean songs, "Where is a" is a great song to start with because it is nice and slow.  One way we make them interactive is by giving each child one or two letters on cards.  When we sing about the letter, the child holding it brings it up to the pocket chart.  The cards can also be moved to a center for alphabetical order or upper-and lowercase matching.

ABC Order Center

I was trying to figure out how my brand new kindergarteners would be able to do abc order.  I came up with this idea using a presentation board, library pockets, patterned paper and my cricut.  I used a Lettering Delights font to print the letters for each pocket.  I probably should have laminated the pockets to make them a little more sturdy.  I added an extra pocket at the end to store the words.  I'll write the words on sentence strips (including our popcorn words, color words, number words, days, months, seasonal words, etc.).  I will be able to change out the words to keep the center fresh and long lasting.
