117 kindergarten children were armed with disposable cameras and sent out to take pictures of the 26 letters of the alphabet in their world. Our kindergartners found the alphabet everywhere! Letter recognition is an important element of kindergarten studies and this project married the creative use of technology with Virginia Beach objectives. The project, inspired by a book by Arlene Alda, was supported by a grant from the Virginia Beach Public Schools Education Foundation. Students had 45 days to complete the project. Kindergarten teachers chose the best representations of each letter from their classes which became the pool of photographs that created the final poster.

The "Eye" on the Alphabet posters are ready for purchase. The poster is a compilation of photographs taken by JBD kindergartners.
The cost for the 18"x24" poster is $8.00. You may order them by sending cash or check made payable to John B. Dey Elementary. Students should bring cash/check to the main office. The
proceeds from the sale of the poster will support future kindergarten and other JBD creative programs.
