Our Alphabet Linking Chart!



Kindergarten students have learned all about the Alphabet linking chart. This tool helps us remember our letters and sounds for reading and writing. You have probably seen it in you child's homework folder.

Each class worked very hard to make their own linking chart for the classroom.
Students learned how to write each letter using the correct steps then added them to the chart. They colored the linking chart pictures and wrote the words too.

We took a picture of our chart and made it interactive using iPads and a few cool apps. 
(Thing Link and Shadow Puppet)
Students learned to use the iPad camera tool and made a movie for each letter! Every student helped build a letter with materials found in our classroom and took a picture with the iPad. We also had fun searching for real objects to go with the letters.
(Except for Oo, we couldn't find an octopus at school.)

Just click or tap on each play button to see our work.
