The cameras are a great idea! I am starting a picture pal program in September. I have my students draw pictures with a brief explanation and then we trade with other students from around the world.
I did this with my preschoolers when I owned and taught at my private preschool in the states before moving to the VI.
I presented this idea to the University of Illinois/Child Care Resources and they are featuring an article about it in their September newsletter.
Would these children be interested in doing this?
