Your children can learn about the world though postage stamps. They will learn about: art, culture, inventions and the people who changed the world. This after school workshop will help with reading, writing and critical thinking skills.
Class experience
My goal in each meeting “ Travel the World – Stamp Collecting Club “ is to have fun while we look at stamps from around the world and explore different countries, cultures and peoples. The class will be modified to reflect the culture of the students in that section. Students will see stamps and culture from their own country and also explore other cultures and peoples around the world. They will learn about stamp collecting, art and organizational skills. Here is an outline of the 8 week...
Students will learn about stamp collecting as a hobby and even as a possible investment. They will learn about culture, art and history around the world. Each student will focus on organization skills and how to take care of their collection.
