The Alphabet Countdown

A friend of mine was telling me about her friend who teaches first grade and does an Alphabet Countdown for the last twenty-six days of school. 

 Her class LOVES it.  The class gets a calendar sent home and each day they do something that represents that letter. I was able to look at examples of her sheet, and it gave me a starting point to build from.

 If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear from you!

 Thanks Robin for sharing this idea! When I make the calendar, I will post it. I have a feeling some of the kids in my class will have some good ideas too. I would love suggestions for the letters o and n.

    Mrs. Kimbrell's Kindergarten does it too. Here is a link to her page of ideas.

    We do something similar. It sure keeps the kids motivated...and me too. :)

    The same thing happened to me last year! I was talking to someone who shared this and we were already at the countdown. I would have posted this early but I just remembered on Friday! So, I spent Sat. morning writing it up! I love O for Outside games...my friend Genie came up with Outside Obstacle Olympics...sound fun! I love N for nature.

    Yes, having a good imagination is crucial, especially if you're an artist or musician. I experience this occasionally when writing.
