A new activity recently placed on the Language shelves is writing greeting cards. I love how this lesson allows for plenty of writing practice while giving the children opportunities to think of others. I set the materials up in our writing area which includes a laminated display of cursive letters. A set of small colored pencils in a crayon roll creates a wonderful point of interest for the kids. There is also a set of small stamps to use for decorating the cards. Behind the basket tray are the folded papers for cards.

We have some very proud writers (and happy recipients) as a result of this greeting card writing activity! :)
I love this!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get your writing paper?
Also what is the laminated alphabet card used for?
Thank you. The paper is simply white construction paper cut in half lengthwise and folded. I placed the alphabet card next to the writing activity mainly for a point of interest but also so that the children may refer to it as they are writing their cards.
