Students will work together to create a Back-to-School ABC book by assigning each student a letter of the alphabet and having them brainstorm or choose a school-related word starting with that letter to illustrate and include in the book. Words can vary in difficulty depending on grade level, such as "A" words including art, abacus, and attendance for younger students. When complete, the book will be displayed for the classroom or school library.

Abc Back To School Booklet
1. Back-to-school ABC book. This is an activity that can be done across the grades! Share with
students some ABC books from the school or town library and tell them that they will be
working together to create a Back-to-School ABC Book. Assign a letter of the alphabet to each
student. Brainstorm with students possible words for each letter or allow each student to
choose his or her own word. Explain that the words must be related to activities associated
with school. Of course, the difficulty of the words will vary, depending on the grade level of
the students. For example, A might be represented by the words art, abacus, attendance,
algebra, addition, advisor, athletics, auditorium, alphabet, answer key, apple, arithmetic,
announcement, award, A-V, aide, or assistant principal. Finally, have each student illustrate
his or her word. Combine the pictures to create a book. Display the book in the classroom or
school library. As an extra challenge, you might limit older students to choosing adjectives; no
nouns allowed!
