April 2-Stamp collecting

I ordered 23 stamps for each of my students and asked Mr. Butler if he would share his knowledge of stamp collecting with us. He talked to us for 30 minutes about stamp collecting last Thursday. He suggested we start out by collecting and sorting our stamps into these topics: sports, flags, people, and famous places. We are going to save them in little baggies until I can come up with a way for us to display/save them. I am researching that now to find the least expensive means for us to have our collection. He reminded us to ask the following people to save stamps for us: parents at work, grandparents, uncles/aunts, cousins, neighbors, and friends. If we find others that will save them for us that will really help us get started. Ask them to just cut around the stamp/envelope. We are excited about our new hobby.
