One of my students this year is constantly drawing princesses. On the art table today, I put out a box with old greeting cards, postcards and small mirrors; a thick blank cardstock; pencils, and markers. This particular girl began making a series of princess postcards -- but not only with people as princesses. There was a dinosaur and a pig as well. I thought this was a nice development!
This has me thinking about communication, handmade postcards, and pen pals. I think I'll be looking into acceptable postcard sizes for the Belgian post...
p.s. don't forget to comment for the giveaway!
I love sending and receiving mail! What about an international pen-pal group? What fun it would be for kids to receive mail from another country, possibly in another language.
ReplyDeletedinosaur princesses! i love it.
ReplyDeleteour classroom bunny, btw, is called "prince rainbow."
dinosaur princesses! i love it.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about pen pals. The children could design their own postcards and send them back and forth to a child in another country. I'm tempted to use a school in Seattle since I know a few teachers there, but using another international school would also be interesting. Perhaps the children should choose the location!
