Project Description:
Classrooms explain their holiday traditions by sending cards to their partners around the world. Teachers and students prepare an envelope with holiday cards to send to the other participants. Students may send Chinese New Year, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or Eid greeting cards or cards that show local celebrations. 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.
Classes are matched by the facilitator with several other classrooms to collaborate.
