Complete Story List - Waldorf First Grade Capital Letters

I'm going to take a brief break from my Main Lesson Book Photography Project to say that I've finally finished my list of stories for Waldorf First Grade Capital Letters! There are LOTS and LOTS of resources for using Grimm's fairy tales to teach the letters, and I'm happy to share the traditional story list with anyone who asks, but I wanted to come up with a creative way of doing the stories using picture books which I already had on my shelf. I was looking for some unusual choices for the letter illustrations, and some fun creative follow-up ideas for the stories I picked.

Here is the web page with all of the details on this main lesson block!

It also includes ALL of the links to the traditional resources as well, and lots of photos of the traditional illustrations. But here are my choices, first in alphabetical order, and then in the combinations which I will use for them. The web page includes all the stories which go with each letter and links to all the books I'm choosing, so I don't feel like I need to repeat that here.

• A - Asparagus
• B - Bubbles
• C - Cave
• D - Door & Den
• E - Elephant
• F - Feather
• G - Goose
• H - House
• I - Icicle
• J - Jump & Joy
• K - King
• L - Ledge
• M - Mountain
• N - Net
• O - Otter
• P - Parrot
• Q - Queen
• R - River
• S - Shooting Star
• T - Tower
• U - Underground
• V - Valley
• W - Worm
• X - Xylophone
• Y - Yak
• Z - Zucchini

Story and Activity Combinations:

#1 - Worm + Underground

#2 - Tower + Bubbles

#3 - Yak + House

#4 - River + Net

#5 - Otter + Shooting Star

#6 - Mountain + Elephant

#7 - Feather + Goose

#8 - Xylophone + Parrot

#9 - King + Queen

#10 - Ledge + Valley + Cave

#11 - Icicle + Jump/Joy + Door/Den

I would do this over two main lesson blocks, combinations 1 through 6 in one block and combinations 7 through 12 in the second block.
