E...See MoreThis survey concerns all teachers; novice and veteran.
Please take time to complete this survey. It is for a thesis statement. I would appreciate your thoughts and opinions. After all, if it does not currently concern you, it will eventually. Results will be posted at the end of July, 2009.

Quick Rules (I'll be emailing everyone specifics): *Each postcard has 2 state facts and then 1 fun fact (can be about anything from your class to your town..anything.)
*Postcards should be store bought
*You'll send out 5 cards a week starting mid-late September (you can put the same three facts on each card to make it easy)...that way you should have all 50 postcards by the beginning of December. There is an order to the five states...you'll see who you send yours out to once I send the final addresses email.
*With the addresses, I am sending an attachment of the letter I will be sending home to parents. You can personalize it to fit your class! :)
*Have more questions? Email me! [email removed]
Everyone involved is very excited and I know the kiddos are going to love this. I hope you're one of the missing states!
I am putting together a 50 postcard exchange! I am collecting address of interested teachers- 1 from each state. I am desperately in need of ID! For our exchange, each class is required to send a postcard from their state to each of the other classes. If all goes as planned, you should receive 49 postcards- 1 from each other state in return. This is a great way to teacher about the US and makes a really fun bulletin board! If you are interest, please email me at [email removed]:

I am organizing a POSTCARD EXCHANGE for the upcoming school year 2009-2010. I would like it very much to have successful turnout of all the states (provinces and territories are welcome!). My classes and I have enjoyed this experience tremendously over the years.
This project works well when all participants hold up to their promise. I would like one participant from each of the 50 states and DC. In addition, anybody who teaches in Canada feel free to join just inquire!
This will be on a first come, first serve. I will have all info ready mid to late September and email every so often with updates.
If you are interested and willing to make the commitment, please provide the following information:
Thank you and please feel free to email me with any questions!!
Sincerely, Erin
Here is some information I had posted on other websites so you can read:
Calling elementary teachers from 49 states!! I need your help!! I would like my 3rd grade class to participate in a Postcard Exchange Project this 2009-2010 school year, but I need your help to do so. I need 49 teachers from across the country who would be willing to write 49 postcards and send them out to each state. At the end of the project, you should receive 49 different postcards with information about each state. (Information/examples will be sent out to you as soon as I get participation from all states.) What can you do in the mean time? You will need to see if your local government office will donate 49 (or 50-one for your classroom) postcards for your classroom project, or you can buy them at a local store which sells them. I’m not sure, but Triple A may have them as well and might be willing to donate. If you can’t get donations, parents may be willing to help you out too. Postcard stamps are 28 cents each, so you may want to ask for parent donations for those too.
The postcard must have either the state name on the front or a picture representing your state. Students will get a chance to learn about other states as they receive postcards from around the country. You can have a bulletin board with a map set up if you choose to show where each postcard came from.
Please email me if you are interested in participating in this project. Please email ONLY if you are serious about completing this project. There is only one slot open for each state, so I only want serious participants. If you know any teachers living in other states and want them to participate in the same exchange as you, email them quickly with this link.
I will send out a master list to each participant once I receive all 49 participants.
Please EMAIL me the following:
Your name (First and last)
Your grade level Your school name Your school address Your email address
Target starting date: September 15th (More details to come!!)
