Make a Difference Day
Summit Questa Montessori School in Davie Florida made a difference on "Make a Difference Day"! The whole school created postcards for the children featured on our website and sent them out to them.
From small to big, the students were very creative and came up with many original and inventive ideas for their postcards. There were some great artists among them!
The themes for the postcards were:
"If I were an animal I would be...." for the younger students in Kindergarten and Lower Elementary.
"That's what makes me happy..." for the older students in Upper Elementary and Middle School.
To round out the day, the postcards were collected and entered a contest where they were judged and chosen according to a set of guidelines.
We are very proud to present the three winners of each age group on our website! Thank you to all the students for their great effort and dedication!
Contest Winners
First of all, all the kids are winners! It was really difficult to choose the winners, since all postcards were very special. Here's the final choice that we have made.

Bilingual Project on Handwriting Day
On Handwriting Day, the Miami Children's Museum Charter School created postcards for the children featured on our website and sent them out to the featured children. The school used it as a bilingual project. The students wrote the postcards in French and translated them in English. They learned how to write a friendly message in French: "Bonjour, je m'appelle ...J'habite Miami. Mon animal preferée est.... Ma couleur preferée est..." "Hello, my name is... I live in Miami. My favored animal is... My favored color is..."
What a great way to introduce letter writing in another language!
For the design of the postcards, the students chose the theme: "If I were an animal I would be..." The children were very creative and came up with many original designs and ideas.
We would like to share with you a few master pieces from this great event.
