What did I get in the mail?!

 
A postcard! I think postcards are a fun activity for any grade, but especially with little ones. They’re small. So, they don’t require a ton of writing and there’s the art aspect of it. Postcards are extremely adaptable that can be used with any theme and most subjects.

When I taught older students, I used to love to bust out my Victorian postcards. They usually caught their attention.  It was fun to have them pick an era and a person, or a historical figure, and have them pen and design their own postcards. I’m ALWAYS amazed by how talented my students have been.

Why not add postcards to your routine? It can be as easy or complex as you like.
