Summary
Schools exchange greeting cards through the mail and learn about each other through the iEARN forums.
Description
Teachers and students prepare an envelope with holiday cards to send to the other participants between October - December. The project may be called the Greeting card exchange and students would send Chinese New Year, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or Eid greeting cards. Each school will be placed in a group with approximately seven other schools and will prepare either handmade or purchased cards (decorations may be included) to send to each of the other schools.
* PLEASE NOTE: This project involves postal mailings, so participants are encouraged to plan ahead to estimate whether associated costs are within their budget.
