Is anyone int...See MoreI would very much like to start up a Texas Postcard Exchange for 4th Grade Social Studies. Classes from areas that feature places of historical, geographical, symbolic, and sightseeing significance could send postcards at a planned time so it ties in with Texas Social Studies. We could extend this project throughout the year.
Need Alaska, Iowa, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Texas
You really will get a huge response, because the majority 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 12th year of our 50-State Postcard Exchange! I include 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.
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 October - one from each state, plus one from Washington, D.C., 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 K-6th 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 October, and in a few weeks after that you will receive a postcard from each of the 50 states, Washington, D.C., and Canada.
I hope you can join us! Francie 5th Grade in Los Angeles

Alaska, Delaware, Idaho, Missi...See MoreLast year we had a huge response rate, and every year we get a huge response. Why? Because the same teachers stay in our group, and we try really hard to add only great new teachers that will participate.
See my other posts for more details, and contact me only of you teach in the following states:
Alaska, Delaware, Idaho, Mississippi, New Hampshire, Vermont, West Virginia
I would like to start a third and fourth grade postcard exchange. I will set up a google doc to be shared and communicate with all. Please submit your email, grade, state, and website.
I am taking over for another teacher who has had a REALLY successful time with the postcard exchange. I already have a lot signed up. If you are interested in participating, send your name and e-mail address. Looking forward to hearing from you!
Tanya OcchiuzzoI would like to participate with my fifth grade class. We are from Mount Arlington, NJ. If this is possible, I will email my full address and information.
Hi Linda, > > I know I am a tad bit late, but would love to enter the postcard exchange. I have a 3rd grade class from Baton Rouge, LA. Thanks, Frances

I teach 4th grade in Chicago, Illinois. We study the 50 states each year. I would love to be a part of a postcard exchange if anyone is looking for IL.
