Collections

We have had so much fun corresponding with Valerie Biebuyck, author of Electra to the Rescue. Everyone was inspired to think more about their own collections. How to categorize, display, and store them. This got us thinking about how to share them with others which lead us to making own business cards using Microsoft Publisher. Now I'm going to start collecting business cards beginning with my 19 new favorite collectors!
It is very sad to end the year so suddenly and without our annual picnic or usual fanfare. I am planning on blogging all summer and would like to encourage the children to comment me and fill me in on their summer fun as well as send postcards or letters. Everyone will be going home with a summer reading and writing folder in hopes that they continue to keep the literacy embers burning.
Thanks for a year filled with wonder and excitement!
