I was just looking through pictures from my practicum last year (3 weeks in a K/1 class), and found this one. I did a lesson with a Canada theme, and thought that I would make a Canadian Alphabet with the kids. We first started by reading a book that had the format of a Canadian Alphabet, and then brainstormed together, words that fit each letter. At that age, the kids still weren't able to grasp what a Canadian word might be. But, I brought in lots of Canadian alphabet themed books for the kids to get ideas from. Since I only had 16 students, I had to make up the other 10 letters, but it was pretty fun! I cut out 26 paper maple leaves, and put textured stickers of each letter (in upper and lower case) on each leaf. I also brainstormed words (before the lesson) that could go with each letter in case a student was completely stuck and couldn't figure it out. After the lesson we put up the maple leaves, and each student got to share what he/she made.
