Elementary Classroom ATC Swap #1 - Stack 2 (+25)

This is an elementary school classroom ATC exchange for 25 cards. Students should be between the ages of 5 and 11. You will be trading 25 cards with one school for each “stack” of this trade.

SUBJECT: WHAT ARE YOU LEARNING ABOUT? Get creative and share knowledge on an ATC. It could be in any school subject art, or academic, adapted and shared on an ATC. Examples: a cool art project or element, compass rose, cells, writing music or even presidents! The specific subject is up to you, but please make sure each "stack" of 25 is similar.
PAPER & SIZE: All cards must be on a sturdy substrate (paper, cardboard, metal, plastic…). The cards must all be 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches or 64 X 89 mm. MEDIUM: You may use any medium that you would like. Just keep in mind that students might be placing them into their ATC sheets so mediums that smudge are not recommended. Instruct students to write the following on the back of EACH card. Age, grade and school are optional. Name (first names only) Title, State/Country, Date ATC are 2.5 inch

If you have less than 25 students, some might not mind doing multiple cards. If you have more than 25 students, we are trying out a way to accommodate. Please see section on "stacks" below.

STACKS - Notice the multiple titles with different “stack #”? This is designed to allow a diversity of participation from whole schools, after school programs, homeschoolers, and single classrooms. Students will receive ATCs from more places. Students love to talk about all different places they have swapped art with.

Each “stack” is designed for 25 students. Each “stack” swaps with one school. Teachers can join multiple swaps to “stack” the right number of students. If you have 100 students participating, please join four “stacks” to equal 100. You will mail to four schools. If you have only 25 participating, please look at all the stacks and join one with the least amount of swappers. You will mail to one school. If you have more than 100 students, please contact me. I can work it out to accommodate more students.

Right now we are mostly art teacher in the exchange, but feel free to share with your classroom teachers on this one. It's a great opportunity to get cross-curricular and reinforce academics with art!
