Over the past few years I have been trying to reduce the amount of store bought items on the walls in the classroom and replace them with student created resources. Our alphabet is an example of this. In September we went on a nature walk and collected a variety of natural items. Back in the classroom we arranged the natural items in the shape of the letters of the alphabet. I took a picture of each letter and put it into a frame. This a great way for the kids to make the classroom their own as well as to bring a natural element into the classroom. We also worked our fine motor muscles by carefully placing the rocks and berries just so.
For our number line we went on a number hunt in the community. Armed with our iPads, we scoured the neighbourhood for numbers. We found out that numbers are everywhere!!! Our number line to 10 is made up of the pictures we took on our walk. For numbers 11-20 we used items in our classroom to build the numbers.
