One of the fun ideas that has emerged from kindergartens across the country in recent years is the 26 day "Alphabet Challenge!" The concept arises from the idea that many children come to school with some awareness of the alphabet, but some children arrive to kindergarten with no exposure to letters and their sounds. This is absolutely one-hundred percent okay! No one should feel the need to come to kindergarten knowing letters! That said, we want to create excitement and a shared knowledge of the letters at the start of the year. This creates community, it gets kids excited, and letters become our shared language. We learn together and we have fun building our shared knowledge of our alphabet. Here are some of our silly hat photos from our recently completed "Alphabet Challenge!"
