Rock Alphabet

A few weeks ago, the children in lunch bunch began collecting small stones. We washed and painted the small rocks. This week, we began writing the alphabet letters on our freshly painted stones. As we were writing the letter, the children noticed we did not have enough stones.  They also noticed that some children would need the same alphabet letters for their names. They concluded we would need more stones! Elias, Emme, Jolie, and Ben decided to go outside and collect some more stones.

We set up a station to wash the rocks, dry the stones, and then paint them. Many children in Kohavim helped to paint the stones. We let the stones dry and decided to check back after lunch. When we realized the stones were dry, we continued writing alphabet letters on them.  Adam and Noah put the alphabet stones in order so we would know which letters we still needed. We decided to do a whole set of uppercase letters and a whole set of lower case letters. Our Rock Alphabet was finally ready to be played with! Check out the post called, “ Playing with our Rock Alphabet  “ to see how the kohavim children have been using the rock alphabet!
