Good morning!
I have the pics! As I shared with you last week, I went to a local elementary school Friday to help the 300 students there make cards for veterans and residents at assisted living homes or nursing homes. I feel like it went pretty well and everyone had fun. We had 8 groups of 30-40 students at a time for about 20 min. It was organized chaos–that’s for sure! But I’d do it again!
Here’s what the library looked like before we got started. It was perfect to have tables covered with colored paper, so the teacher could excuse by table colors when it was time.
Here are all the samples I made–a portrait and landscape card for each table, to give them ideas to start from. They had a Memento pad and colored Stampin’ Spot plus a few stamps per each of 8 tables. I asked the school if they could provide glue sticks, crayons and/or markers.
And here are all the pics taken by the teacher who stayed in the library with me. I was very thankful that for most of the day, there were enough volunteers to have one adult per table. It really needs to be a necessity next time. It definitely went better that way.
It cracked me up seeing some of the students writing to their mom or gramma and bug. Some said they were saving it for their brother. Ummm. No, that’s not what these cards are for. Remember? 😉
I look forward to the next time we partner together. 🙂
I hope you’ll join me Live! at 10:30am ET today on YouTube! I’ll see you soon!
Have a great day!!
