Show & Tell in a High School Class: The Christmas Card

The class was in aww of a beautiful handmade card that one of the young ladies brought for her show and tell. She shared how it was originally a food container box covered with white paper. The person who made the card had no access to construction paper.... and my student was very proud of his ingenuity and the overall quality of the card

The intricate hand drawing was of a beautiful African-American baby girl, all done with colored pencils. It had to take many hours. She read us the poem on the inside of the card, an original, beautiful poem from a father to a daughter, no matter how old she will get, she will always be "his little girl"

This hand made card was her Christmas present from her Dad in prison. He has been incarcerated since she was in 6th grade (she is now a senior) It has been well over a year since her last visit, and she has no idea if or when he will be released. But she wanted to share with the class, that she will always be "His little girl"
