Hi...My name is Erin and I'm a third grade teacher in
Pennsylvania. I am trying to find one elementary teacher
from each state willing to participate in a project titled:
Postcard Exchange with 50 States. I was wondering if you
would be willing to partner with me and 48 other teachers
from around the country? What would you have to do? You
and your classroom would have to write a postcard to each
state. (49 total-Handwritten or typed) I will have all
addresses available that can be printed out easily on a
label page. *If you decide to participate I will email
that information to you. If you aren't interested, but know
of a teacher in your state who might be, would you PLEASE
forward this email to him/her? I'd really appreciate your
help in this matter.

Thank you and please feel free to email me with any
questions!!

Sincerely,
Erin

Here is some information I had posted on other websites so
you can read:

Calling elementary teachers from 49 states!! I need your
help!! I would like my 3rd grade class to participate in a
Postcard Exchange Project this 2009-2010 school year, but I
need your help to do so. I need 49 teachers from across
the country who would be willing to write 49 postcards and
send them out to each state. At the end of the project,
you should receive 49 different postcards with information
about each state. (Information/examples will be sent out
to you as soon as I get participation from all states.)
What can you do in the mean time? You will need to see if
your local government office will donate 49 (or 50-one for
your classroom) postcards for your classroom project, or
you can buy them at a local store which sells them. I’m
not sure, but Triple A may have them as well and might be
willing to donate. If you can’t get donations, parents may
be willing to help you out too. Postcard stamps are 28
cents each, so you may want to ask for parent donations for
those too.

The postcard must have either the state name on the front
or a picture representing your state. Students will get a
chance to learn about other states as they receive
postcards from around the country. You can have a bulletin
board with a map set up if you choose to show where each
postcard came from.

Please email me if you are interested in participating in
this project. Please email ONLY if you are serious about
completing this project. There is only one slot open for
each state, so I only want serious participants. If you
know any teachers living in other states and want them to
participate in the same exchange as you, email them quickly
with this link.

I will send out a master list to each participant once I
receive all 49 participants.

Please EMAIL me the following:

Your name (First and last)

Your grade level
Your school name
Your school address
Your email address

Target starting date: September 15th (More details to
come!!)

Target finish date: November 15th
