Just read about this idea, but it's about $50. to join. I
immediately that of this site and thought it might be
something we could do.

Schools partner-up with another school. Each school puts
together a box with an agreed upon number of
items/pictures from their state that gives the other
school clues about their state. (Examples: state flower,
bug, landmarks, etc.) When a class receives a box, they
try to figure out where the state is.

As I'm writing, I'm thinking, if we could get a few
schools to do it (4-5), we could pass these boxes between
the schools and recycle them!

I teach a 4th and a 5th grade class social studies class,
so I'd be interested in other classes in elementary
schools.

I was thinking if I could get others involved, to get
started in the next couple of months. (Hopefully!)

Anyone interested? Please let me know!

Debbie,
Did you get any response? I did this a number of years ago and would be willing to try it
again, either with a group or just our two classes. I have a fifth grade class in De Soto,
Missouri.

Hi, it seems like the four of us are the only ones interested in the last year. I like the idea of the four states sending to three others. The children could experience an exchange at every quarter. They could "build" their box first quarter and guess at others the 2nd, 3rd and 4th.
