Overall Purpose: To become better acquainted with different letters and shapes.
Theme: Trees
LESSON
Learning Standard(s):
SEL3: The child will demonstrate self-efficacy (confidence/competence).
F.K. 1. Demonstrate understanding of the organization and basic features of print.
d. Recognize and name all upper- and lowercase letters of the alphabet.
Behavioral Objectives/Learning Outcomes:
I would like the children to become confident in letter and shape making. Making straight lines does not come easy to a child this will give them confidence and they will be able to see the letter and shape come together with the sticks.
Motivational Techniques: (What will you use to pair with lesson (i.e. a book, song, video etc)

Procedures: (Step by Step how to do the activity)
Start off by going on a nature walk.
Collect different size small sticks in a small reusable tote.
Work with your child to make different letters and shapes with the sticks.
Glue the sticks to paper in the shapes you prefer.
Materials:
Paper
Liquid glue
small assorted sticks
small tote to carry the sticks
Wrap-up:
Talk about the letters you have made together. What sounds do they make?
When the glue has dried have your child trace the letters and shapes with their finger.
Then you can try making the letters with a pencil or crayons.
Remember to always start your letters at the top!
Count how many sticks one letter or shape needs.
Assessment:
Modifications:
If you do not have paper or glue or would like to stay in nature and make different shapes and letters on the ground that is fun too!
Helpful Hints:
If the sticks are too bumpy they may not stick well to the paper. You can always just make the shapes and letters with the sticks and just not glue them onto paper. You can even keep a bin filled with small sticks that you can pull out and make different letters and shapes at a later date.

Assessment:
- use found materials to create collages (e.g., feathers, buttons, fabric, recycled materials).
- explore ways to use or combine different types of lines to create shapes, letters, drawings.
