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
