Hi! I teach 2nd grade in Texas and have started a postcard exchange throughout the US. I was hoping to find a class in Iowa 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]
My class will be reading the story the Gingerbread Man and doing a project with it. I am asking if anyone would mind assisting with this... if you would like to please email me at [email removed].
Project letter: My name is the Gingerbread Man, my friend in CLass 2H was reading a story about me and i jumped out of the storybook to visit you. My friend at school is wondering where I have run to. Please help them by sending them a picture postcard showing them the area where you live. This postcard will be posted on a large map of the world outside of my classroom. This will help the children by showing them how different parts of the world look. I know my friends will enjoy hearing from you and learning where I have run! Thank you for your help! Got to go! The Gingerbread Man

Found a fantastic new chapter-book series for ages 7-9 that the kids in my class are thrilled about. It's called the Incredible Journey Books and it has fast-paced worldly adventures filled with geography facts. The plots are interesting and the series has done the trick to get my third-grade class interested in exploring the world map. The books have a great site that has an Africa unit along with puzzles to go with each book. Go to [link removed].

I am the Coordinator for the Foster Grandparents Program of Linn & Johnson Counties in Iowa. I was looking for a way to reach retired teachers in the area (or any retired individuals) who might be looking for a way to stay connected to youth by volunteering at local schools and day cares. Is there a Retired Teachers Association or something in Iowa?

Hope it can be of some use to you.

As part of a graduate research project, I need to gather data from current teachers. I’m researching the use of technology in the classroom and what factors affect it. If you could just take a few minutes to complete my survey, I’d appreciate it. The survey is online and has 15 questions.
I hope you and your schools are ok. Keep your chin up and let - us in the Midwest help if we can -Since we're neighbors...maybe we can get to you faster....leave a note on the Indiana web site - we'll be looking for it.
