Friendship Week

While I write this blog mostly to report on my writing and storytelling projects, I am not above giving a boost to my grandson Evan.  His kindergarten class is having a Friendship Week February 7 to 11, which I think is meant to replace Valentine's Day and all the nastiness that holiday used to have for children who got no cards.  Remember Charlie Brown's misery?

Instead, Evan's teacher is using this week to teach the children about the post office, letters and the world.  Friends and relatives are asked to send cards, notes and postcards to a child in the class.  The students will have to sort the mail and deliver it to each "postbox".  Valentine Cards are accepted.   It would be wonderful if they received letters from around the world with colorful stamps.  Those of you with your own grandchildren could send photos.

So blog readers, if you so wish, you can send your greeting to:

Highlands Elementary School
Mrs. Zingler/Kosgard's Kindergarten Clas
2037 N. Elinor Street
Appleton, WI  54914
Put "Evan" on the bottom of the card so it will go into his box.  Mention that you know Evan from this blog.

I'll report later how this exercise went.  Remember the summer reading program theme:  One World, Many Stories.
