Francie - 9th year of a successful Postcard Exchange!

Posted on 6/27/09

We take all grade levels K-6 for our Postcard Exchange. I
provide labels of all the addresses for free. Please email
me if you teach in these states only:

Alaska and Vermont

You really will get a huge response, because 90% of the
teachers in our group have participated year after year, so
we can count on them.

Here is some info:

We are in our 9th year of our 50-State Postcard Exchange! I
choose one teacher for each state. We have had an excellent
response rate with the prior postcard exchanges we have
had.

We only have a few states available, due to some teachers
dropping out. If you don’t see your state listed, then it
is not available. If you want to join, and you teach at one
of the states listed above, please email me:
kugelman@earthlink.net

What's great about this exchange is that the teachers 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, and 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.

I hope you can join us! You can reach me at
