You CAN always get what you want.

At least you can if you are willing to create it yourself.  Over the past few years I've been on the hunt for a large classroom sized alphabet line for my classroom.  It to be D'Nealian and I really wanted it to have the pictures with labels in D'Nelian too.  I couldn't find one anywhere.  I searched in the Albany Teacher's store and the Endicott Teacher's store too.  There were a few I was watching online at amazon.com as well.  I was inspired by another teacher's word wall because she had created her own.  It dawned on me that I could do the same.  So I downloaded some gender friendly backgrounds and got to work.  I used Jack Hartman's Letter Sounds song as the basis for the pictures and labels.  I also redesigned the vowels after much debate.  I put both the long and short vowel sounds on the picture cards.  I also wanted the vowels and consonants to be easily recognized.  I put the vowels on red backgrounds and the consonants on blue, leaving the y on a purple background.  I've printed 2 sets and trimmed and laminated them.  One is going to be on the wall for my letter line and the other is going to be used for games I play with my class.  Click the Link below to purchase!
