Make an ABC Book
By Barb

We made our OWN ABC book. I have a digital camera (or you can borrow someones or even just use a regular camera) and we discussed things/objects in our room and school that started with each letter. Then the kids took turns
getting their pictures taken with these objects. Once we printed out the pictures, we used ABC letters and words and construction paper to decorate pages with our pictures and letters and words. Each kid can decorate a page if you want. Put it all on heavy paper (tagboard) and then laminate and bind.
Then you can read your own ABC book during circle time and the kids love to see themselves

in a book. It makes a real connection and they are involved in the learning process.

Instead of doing all the work in school, you could send home a page and a letter with each kid and assign them a letter. Have them and their families take their pictures with at least 2 objects that start with that letter and then make their page at home, decorate it, and then return it to school when its ready. You could take turns sending home a disposable camera or a polaroid camera.
