Alphabet City

Learning letters has never been more fun! This cross-curricular project blends ELA, math and engineering design in a hands-on activity your students will LOVE!


In the Book...

Albert builds the alphabet using tools and scraps. A playground and path are then lined with the letters.



The Challenge

Build a letter of the alphabet out of cardboard — and make sure it will stand by itself.
