The Alphabet Quest-Pickens County Museum

Braelyn's curriculum for the next few years is call the Alphabet quest.  It is a reading, writing, spelling and phonics curriculum that also incorporates actual art from various famous artists. 
The "quest" is going through the museum and finding one piece of art that starts with each letter of the alphabet.

We had some extra time and the Museum in Pickens was free, so we decided to play.

Loved this one-the goat is a BIG problem but she keep on pulling!



The girls loved several of the pieces and bounced from one exhibit to another.  We did find every letter, however "X" proved to be rather illusive and we tweaked the rules so that any X would do.  We found the X at the end of the Lynx. 



We loved the denim piece with the mother and child--the denim is actually cut in various shades-there is no paint!

It was sad to see the jail part now sectioned off-I remember being allowed to enter the cell-I was hoping for a few good pictures there!


Here is our video and the letters we found:

A apple on the desk
B  bell
C cotton
D dolls
E eagle
F fort
G guitar
H hat
I iron
J jacks
K kitchen
L logs
M mill
N necklace
O operation
P piano
Q question mark
R rocks
S stamp
T television
U uniform
V violin
