We are an established Postcard...See MoreWhen you join a Postcard Exchange, you want to be guaranteed a huge amount of postcards. That's our group! I have never seen less than 46 postcards in the past 12 years we have been running this exchange, and last year we had 100% participation. Besides the 50 states, we also have Canada and Washington, D.C.
We are an established Postcard Exchange. You will receive one postcard from each state - in late October if you join our group. Our group is great, and most teachers participate each year.
I supply you with the labels. We require commercial-looking postcards, but you can use Vista Print if you want.
Email me only if you teach in Alaska, Delaware, and West Virginia.
The following states are definitely needed (with the potential of a few others): Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
If anyone has any questions or wants to join, please email me directly at [email removed]

I sen...See MoreWe are in our 12th year of running an annual postcard exchange. Teachers rarely leave our group because we have such a high success rate in receiving postcards. One teacher per state plus Canada and Washington, D.C.
We use commercial-looking postcards (I usually ask my students to bring 3 postcards in). We mail in October.
I send you labels or you can print and glue.
Join our group! We just need Alaska and Delaware, and then we are ready to go for this year.
You really will get a huge response, because...See MoreAre you looking for a great postcard exchange? We have one, and just need a few new teachers to join us. We take all grade levels K-5 for our Postcard Exchange. I provide labels of all the addresses for free. Please email me if you teach in Delaware!
That's it - We only need Delaware!
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 here, 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-5th 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.
