Postcards
In this creative “Postcards”
activity, your child will experience language and literacy,
in both English and Spanish, in an exciting animated environment.
Sending postcards will encourage
your child to get to know the Maya & Miguel show
characters in an amusing way. English and Spanish language
postcards will be posted and include a character picture
and favorite expression to enjoy. Then your child will also
have the fun opportunity to write his/her own personal postcard
message to send in English, Spanish or own native language.
Sending “Postcards” supports
these important learning objectives:
- to encourage English and Spanish
language acquisition
- to express ideas in written English,
Spanish or your own native language
- to support episode vocabulary
and connect with character experiences
- to communicate with others through
the use of technology
Extend your child’s
“Postcards” learning experience by using these
ideas:
- help your child start a collection
of postcards
- set a goal to send someone special
a postcard once a week, month or on special occasions
- make an art collage with postcards
- wallpaper a special area in your
home with postcards
- help improve written language
skills by encouraging your child to write friendly letters
or kind notes to share with loved ones, neighbors, etc.
