    Post: Fab 50 Postcard Exchange

    Posted by Lisa on 7/05/08

    Hi Everyone!
    I’ve been trying to join a Postcard Exchange, but it seems
    my state (IL) is always filled! So I decided to start my
    own. I gave it a nickname so it’s easier to find on
    message boards. :)

    The goal is that each classroom participating will receive
    postcards from the other 49 states. It’s a fun way for
    students to learn math, geography, map skills, and
    language arts. Please do not sign up unless you are
    committed to participating.

    *Participants will need to buy or create 49 postcards that
    show your state.*
    The back of your postcard is to teach everyone on the
    exchange about your state.
    You can include:
    your state symbols (bird, tree, flower)
    your state nickname(the land of Lincoln)
    important people who have lived in your state
    your state’s major industry or resource
    weather in your state
    information about your classroom/school.

    Please plan on preparing all postcards with students and
    mailing all postcards by the end of OCTOBER. Then, as the
    teacher you can hold on to all the postcards and share
    with your class when it works best for you.

    If you are interested in representing your state, please
    email me at lisawolf26@yahoo.com with “Postcard Exchange”
    and your state’s initials in the subject line.

    I will need the following information:
    Teacher’s Name
    School Name
    School Mailing Address

    Please email me from the address you would like me to
    respond to or include the email address you would like me
    to use to communicate with you. I will send you a
    confirmation email as soon as possible.
    At the end of August (or when we have 50 states signed up)
    I will email you a Word document in an Avery label
    template with all 50 addresses. You can have students
    neatly write the addresses or print them on labels.

    Thank you so much for your interest! *Please remember to
    only sign up if you are definitely planning on
    participating*
    :) Lisa
