Children in Nona Nina's class drew pictures and sent a letter to children in Teacher Andrew's class in Rwanda. The letters had a photo of the children from each country that were exchanging the letters.
We worked with the children today on their letters with the same picture pal photos and added mosaic art. They had such fun choosing colorful paint chips to glue on their letters. Yes, I had raided Home Depot and Lowes for paint chips. Then cut them by the bagful.
Nina Nina also included songs her children sang that I downloaded to play here, "Make New Friends" and "A Circle of Friends". They know these songs. I have also been taking videos, with my iPhone, of the kids singing and will share with schools at home.
This has been a wonderful learning experience for the children as well as the teachers. Sharing letters and art and seeing photos of their picture pals each year continues what has become an important relationship. A bridging of cultures and a sharing of friendship!
