School+Address+that+we+are+sending+them+to

==Decided to let you see some of the email from Ms. Callahan. I think we have found a great teacher to collaborate with! One of you (let me know who) will email her this Friday with an update on the books to let her know when they will be sent out -- no later than May 2, 2008. You will also have to get her mailing address.== HERE"S THE E-MAILmmatcall@aol.com to me show details 9:55 PM (15 hours ago) Reply

Hello "Big Guys" ..... This is so exciting! Yes, we can Skype!! I will borrow a webcam and microphone from our technology department (or I'll bring mine from home)! I have my group of "little guys" (second graders beginning at 8:45 (9:45 your time). Let me get back to you on a date. We are having an all school art exhibit tomorrow (Wednesday evening) with about 400 pieces of work. After that is all over and put away, let's think about connecting. (Next week or so?) THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU soooooooooo much for doing this with us! These kiddos are soooooo blown away by the possibilities of talking with you and working on the books! You have no idea how special you are making them feel! Sincerely, Mrs. Callahan Art Instructor Kennerly Elementary St. Louis, Missouri

Paulo! My students are so indescribably flexible! "May 1st-ish" would be a charm! How about sending the 5-7 unfinished books with the 10-20 pages sans illustrations. In this way, I could get more of my students involved. Please relay to your students how much they are touching the lives of so many little egos and hearts. I understand that this is a project above and beyond the original assignment!

Thanks so very much for sharing your talents and students with all of us. We'll keep in touch!

Marilyn

 * Subject:** Re: Collaboration Sounds great! I can survey my little guys and let you know. I have one class of 18 kids or...all three second grade classes totaling 50 kids. Let me know what your crew would prefer to handle! We are very flexible, very understanding, and very adaptable! (If I could only bottle an eight year old's energy and excitement, I could retire a millionaire!)

If I got together a small group of kids who want to write the book…each one would write a couple pages, send them to your kids to illustrate, and then we would have one complete book. They could do however many pages that you have students. Sound good? Might actually end up being a more productive collaborative project as both classes and students work together to complete one final result. We would be able to start in a couple weeks. Let me know,  Pau     It is important that students bring a certain ragamuffin, barefoot irreverence to their studies; they are not here to worship what is known, but to question it. – [|__Jacob Bronowski__] ** From: ** __mmatcall@aol.com__ __mailto:mmatcall@aol.com__]

 * Subject:** Re: Collaboration After I e-mailed you, I checked out your blog and noticed you were already in contact with another school! If you would be doing this __again__, we would love to participate.

In April-May, my second graders would love to illustrate your books and communicate on-line, etc... with your kids. If that isn't an option, it would still be a wonderful opportunity to have them read your creations and respond to them via the internet, etc... If I'm missunderstanding the project, let me know! (That often happens to me...I'm an 8 track tape in a digital world.)

Thanks!! Marilyn

Paul,

I noticed your request for collaboration on my Art Snacks page.? I am presently involved in a professional development tech program with my school district.? Our assignment is to conduct a collaborative project involving another school outside of our district.? I teach art to students in K - 5.? If you haven't already landed another school.? I would be interested in having some of my classes work with you.? I could also pass your information on to some of my colleagues who are also looking for a partner.
