Description:

Last school year I had my students make ATC's and trade them with each other. They loved it and are asking to do it again. I then thought wouldn't it be fun for them to receive a set from another group of kids they don't know. This one is for all those out there with access to at least 30 individual kids or a very ambitious singleton.

A. Have your students create ATC's that use text as texture. B. Have them sign it First name only (privacy issues), Grade School name City, State

C. Compile 30 great ones and send those off to your partner.

For example I currently have 100 students. From my 100 I'll choose 30 and send them to my partner.

There is going to be alot of time in this swap to accomodate teachers who may see there students only once a week or already have a jammed up schedule and will want to work this in. Please don't flake because this time your letting down children!

If this goes well maybe we'll have more of these swaps!

Ithought I left a note here, but must of forgot, my sons 2nd grade teacher wants to do this friday in her class I printed out your swap details and sent a sample card, I dont know if she willtrade in class or in this group. I dont think shes heard of these cards before, Not alot of people around my are have, But I love doing them...I hope 2nd grade is ok......I think if your swappers put a note here with thier class size, so thier partner knows if they need to send a few extra cards, so any way, I will be watching untill I know for sure, and I wish you a successful swap.

I have middle schoolers. That I will let know that this is a community thing and that people of all ages are participating. My classes are very small (20 at the most) so my package would be a compilation from all 3 grades. I will share what they turn out and then also what we get back with every student regardless of if thier card is sent out. On the issue of the children having something to take home, I am going to have a dual swap. Each child will make 2 cards one to swap with a classmate and one they will share with thier USA community.

Posting class size may be helpful. 30 is just the stereotypical class size number

thats great, I think the kids can do 2 cards and do the duel swap......super...........Looking foweward to it.

This is an awsome idea. i teach High School Painting and art 1. I am currently doing a 20/20 swap with a high school group in Kentucky. My students are really phsyced about it. We plan on mailing them out the friday before Thanksgiving break.

This is an awesome idea, but I teach toddlers and I would feel bad if high school kids got cards from my 1 and 2 year olds...lol

I'm not sure what you mean by using "text as texture". Could you please explain? I introduced this to my group of kids from my after school care program last year. Some of them were asking about it this year, so I thought they might be interested in this.

OlDonut 09/15/2009 #

Text as texture would be to include text as a background layer

Thanks so much for getting back to me. We would love to join. I have about 36 kids in my group though. I hope that's okay. We'll send out the same number too.

Candyn29 09/17/2009 #

craftykathy, if I get you as a partner I will send out 36, even though the class I worked with not as big, and there was 4 kids absent, My daughter and 2 sons are gonna make up the rest.

Hello, I would like to join the swap. I have a group of 30 students aged between 16 and thirty-five all of whom have mild to moderate learning difficulties. We are looking to swap our mixed media cards (all are made and ready to send out). Are you interested in swapping with students from Cornwall England ? Artisan Annie
