I introduced the project to my students by showing them the Dear You website. My students were very excited and became even more excited when I told them exactly what their 1st project were.
One of my students said: "Wauw are we really going to mail it to another class, and will they mail to us as well?"
They were so motivated and couldn't wait to get started. I told them what kind of materials they could use and before I could look around my students were already creating their own little imaginary friend. Each and everyone with a unique expression.
As a teacher it was so nice to watch my students "grow" during the process, and it was even more wonderful to watch them write what kind of superpowers their imaginary friends have.
Right now we are all waiting to receive mail from our new friends in Finland.
My Best,
Tatjana Knudsen
