KIndergarten
In the book, Albert’s Alphabet, Albert designs and builds all the letters of the alphabet, using
tools and scraps. We read the book together and talked about brainstorming as part of the Design Process. The kindergarten students were issued a challenge: Design and build a letter of the alphabet that will stand by itself. We started the planning piece, but they may want to finish the building piece at home. Here are the instructions if you'd like to work on it at home.
