Hi everyone, I organized a mascot exchange last year and
it was great. The girls had so much fun. I would love to
do it again this year. I have a troop of 15 4th grade
Juniors. We would love to exchange with Brownies and
Juniors. We are in Texas. If interested please contact me.
Thanks.

READ BELOW for details!!
Our project centers around a stuffed puppy named Ollie! He wants to travel across the country meeting children from each state. We are looking for a participating class from EACH OF THE 50 STATES!
Ollie is based on the story of a real dog named Owney that was adopted by Postal workers in the late 1800's. He traveled around the country on trains from post office to post office.
NEW THIS YEAR… Ollie will race his brother Oscar, to see who can visit 25 states first! Both collie puppies will be traveling at the same time (one east to west, and the other west to east). They will have time to visit each class for ONE DAY ONLY. Be sure to pack a ton of fun into your special day with Ollie or Oscar! We want to hurry them along on their journey so they can race across the United States and visit all 50 states before school lets out for summer!!
Each class will send a postcard to the other 49 classes after Ollie or Oscar has visited. Include at least one paragraph about your state so we can learn about where you live (large labels work great). Please mail your postcards within one week of his visit.
To keep all project members (and classes) up-to-date with Ollie and Oscar’s adventures, please send 1-2 paragraphs to me by email describing what your class did with Ollie or Oscar. Include digital pictures and/or links to your classroom or school web pages! I will add this to the online travel journal, so all classes can keep track of their travels!
Here’s a quick summary: ++1 day visit from stuffed collie puppy (either Ollie or his twin brother Oscar)... mailed either same day or next day (labels provided)--with delivery confirmation/package tracker emailed to me ++chance for your class to sign "Friends' Journal" and add optional souvenir to his box ++postcard exchange (with all 50 participants) ++books about US Postal Mascot, Owney included in project folder ++journal entry and photos emailed to me and posted on online journal/website ++LOTS of fun and learning for teachers and students!!

I will be teaching kindergarten in Calif. next year and would love to be part of a travel buddy group. Please respond if interested.
I'm organizing a Traveling Mascot for 08-09 and need 5 more California teachers throughout the state. I would prefer 4th grade classes since we study California history in 4th, but all our grades are welcome. I need 2 classes from the Mountain region, 2 from the Desert Region and 1 more from the Valley. The coastal region has already been covered. ...See MoreI'm organizing a Traveling Mascot for 08-09 and need 5 more California teachers throughout the state. I would prefer 4th grade classes since we study California history in 4th, but all our grades are welcome. I need 2 classes from the Mountain region, 2 from the Desert Region and 1 more from the Valley. The coastal region has already been covered.
Here's some of the details....
Your class would be responsible for writing daily in Alby the Bulldog's journal, collecting souvenirs, and providing as much information about your region as possible to help us better understand the wonderful state in which we live in.
In return, I'll make a PDF file of his journal which you can print out or display on the computer for the kids at the end of the project. Also, when he arrives at your school, he will have some goodies to share with the kids as well more information about our region. I'll also be using a website to keep track of his journey.
As the teacher, you would be required to pay for shipping our Travel Buddy to his next location as well as emailing and/or posting photographs/journal entries regularly during Alby's visit.
This is a very exciting project for the kids and all those involved need your 100% commitment. The project would start in September in my class which is in Anaheim, CA (A Coastal Region) and then move monthly to a different region.
October - Desert Region November - Mountain Region December - Valley Region January - Return Home February - Coastal Region March - Desert Region April - Mountain Region May - Valley Region June - Return Home
I'd love to have this set up before school starts in September. Feel free to email me with any questions. I hope you'll join us.

Id like to do one of these with our school mascot, a panther. Is this similar to the flat stanley project? I teach first grade and am looking for someone to participate with me.
