Kindergarten children at East Elementary have been having fun creating name art with alphabet letters. First we read the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and discussed our favorite parts of the book. We made a coconut tree by tearing construction paper to make a brown trunk, green leaves and dark brown coconuts! Each child was able to play with the letters in his or her own name and arrange them on top of their tree to create unique personalized art. This has been one of our favorite projects! It has been fun to see how every tree is different.
I am an art teacher in a rural school district and I am passionate about making a difference in the lives of the students I teach. When I first started this blog many years ago I had more time to write and over the last few years I haven't posted as much. Public education has been changing and I hope to offer some encouragement and support to others during the coming months. Thanks for checking in.

Hi! I was just curious about what you used for the letters. Did you die cut them or did you buy pre-cut letters?
