We still need: Delaware, Hawaii, Montana, Rhode Island, Utah
I'm a teacher from NYC and I'm organizing a postcard exchange for the 3rd year. We are sending and receiving postcards from all over the USA. I'm not sure if you're familiar but here's how it works: You have to purchase 50 postcards w/ your state's pictures on them. You also have to purchase postcard stamps. But you can either ask for a dollar from each student to help out w/ the costs or on your supply list, ask each student to purchase a postcard. I'm from NYC so postcards here are very cheap (20 for $1) so I only ask each kid to bring in $ for 2 stamps. Once you get your postcards, you and your students do some research about your state (ex. population, state bird, what's the weather like, fun things to do there, and write a little about your town and class) and you write this info on the back of the postcard and mail it out and you'll get 50 postcards back from all over the country! It's really a fun project for the kids. Let me know if you're still interested. Thanks! Amanda
This will be my 3rd year organizing a postcard exchange. Please note that we'd prefer bought photo postcards rather than made cards. All cards must be out by the last week of November. And only write me if you are really committed to making this project work. Are you interested in joining? Email me at:

Please send your name, school name and addy, and the grade you teach. Thanks!
Hi! I teach 2nd grade in Texas and have started a postcard exchange throughout the US. I was hoping to find a class in Delaware that would like to join in! The details are below. If you would not like to do this, but know of someone who might, could you please forward this post to them? Thanks a lot and have a great year!
We have a postcard exchange that has some open spots that we are hoping to fill. You would be committing to send 49 postcards to different classrooms throughout the US. They are counting on you for that state so please only sign up if you will follow through. In return, you will receive 49 postcards from around the country. Please email me your name, email, school address, and what grade you teach and I will add you to our database. I look forward to hearing from you! [email removed]
Did you need Hawaii too, or just Delaware? *wicked grin*

I am seeking your advice or help in my quest to find a teaching job. I am certified in secondary ed. social studies with a master's degree in educational leadership from the University of Portland. I have read that the shortage areas are in special ed., math and science which is very discouraging for me. Does anyone have suggestions on what I should do? I will be visiting Oahu in March so should I visit schools and meet with the principals?
I am moving with our without a job...but having one would make the transition so much easier. :)
Thank you so much for the advice! Now the next step is to contact school principals. Would you happen to know of any teachers in the Central District or Ewa area whom I can network with? I appreciate you taking the time to respond and wishing me good luck. I will definately need it!

Sorry, not familiar at all with any principals on Oahu at all! I do not live there. I hope you get into a school!
