We take all grade levels K-6 for our Postcard Exchange. I
provide labels of all the addresses for free. Please
contact me only if you teach in Vermont. We already have
teachers from all the other states.

What's great about this exchange is that we are in our 9th
year, and so the teachers involved are are all positive and
involved in this project, so the odds are extremely high
that you will receive 50 postcards in late September - one
from each state, plus one from Washington, D.C., Puerto
Rico, British Columbia, and Ontario, Canada too.

Besides having this be a great Social Studies project, you
can make it a Language Arts project too. The students can
write a short note about their state. The teachers use a
store-bought card representative of their state.

Some students write their own note about their state on the
back of the postcard, and some teachers copy and glue a
message for each card. Whatever you want to do is up to
you! Our postcard exchange includes teachers from all grade
levels.

Once you are in our exchange, I can email you everyone's
address so your students can address the postcards, or if
you prefer, I will mail labels of the mailing addresses for
the other teachers involved - no cost to you! All you have
to do is have your students bring in commercially-made
postcards from your state and mail one postcard to each
teacher in our exchange.

We will all mail the postcards out in late September, and
in a few weeks after that you will receive a postcard from
each of the 50 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and
Canada.

Please contact me if you want to join!
