Hi, I am currently organizing a postcard exchange project for the 2010-2011 school year. (In case you don't know what this is, it is a chance for you to share really cool facts about your state with the 49 other states. You also get to learn about 49 other states and classrooms because you will in return get a postcard from each of the other states...See MoreHi, I am currently organizing a postcard exchange project for the 2010-2011 school year. (In case you don't know what this is, it is a chance for you to share really cool facts about your state with the 49 other states. You also get to learn about 49 other states and classrooms because you will in return get a postcard from each of the other states.) Great geography lesson! This year, we won't be starting this project until January 2011. Many people had a hard time getting started at the beginning of the school year last year. We had a really successful turnout though. I am just filling slots for the teachers who haven't reponded back that they want to participate again. I will be providing a lot of information and ideas to you as soon as the slots have all been filled. If you are interested in committing to this project, please email me and give me your full name, school name, school address, grade you teach, and an email address that you check frequently. I will respond back to you. Once you are on board, you will need to get 49 state postcards for the project. Start looking now!! Some have a hard time finding the postcards. You can also make your own at Vistaprint.com.
I also am organizing a leaf exchange project starting in October 2010. If you are interested in this project let me know and I will write your information down and get back to you as soon as I have at least 30 participants. You will need to think of at least three different types of trees that you could use. In a snipit, you would press enough leaves for at least 30 participants and then glue each one on a 6x6 card, which will need to be laminated and labled with both the tree name and state it comes from. More details to come. Please email if you are a serious participant. Thanks
Looking for a second grade class from your state to do a Post Card Exchange. If interested email me your name, School/address and school email. I will send more info later. tu
I keep hearing that MN has a lot of teaching positions open, and I have looked online and seen a lot of postings. But what is the market like? Is it as over-saturated as it is here in Michigan (2,000 applicants per position)? Esp. what is it like for elementary teachers?
The first project to take place is our leaf exchange project. In a nutshell, you will choose a preapproved tree to pick leaves from. You will press them and glue them onto cardstock 6x6ish paper. You will label the tree name and state it came from. On the back you can (optional) tell some facts about this specific tree and a little about your classroom. I'm hoping to get at least thirty participants from around the US to join this exchange. This will take place in October 2010. I will include examples of what you can do with your leaves when you get them and how you can connect this project to your state standards.
The other project I have going is the postcard exchange project. I still need one elem. teacher to represent MN. You will need to get or make at least 49 postcards to send to the remaining states in the US. (Not sure if I can get a few other countries to participate yet or not.)
I will include ideas for this project that you can use in your classroom if you so choose. Details will be coming as to what you write, etc...
I would be interested in both if you think they would be appropriate for kindergarten and you haven't found anyone. Would the post cards come to me from each of the 50 states? Is there a timeline for when this is done?
Thanks, Abby

I had a phone interview recently and she asked difficult questions. Not your standard questions such as differentiated instructions, but questions such as how I would handle certain behavior problems, etc. Not ones I would anticipate being asked. It seems that they are having a difficult time getting applicants or the right ones. I didn't get the position and saw that it was reposted. Their website is not well done; lots of information missing.
It's been years since I was licensed as a teacher in MN, but as I recall, a misdeameanor charge shouldn't impact your ability to volunteer or be hired. (I know for a fact that here in GA, where I currently teach, it would not.) what I would earnestly suggest is that you contact those places where you wish to volunteer, and be straight with them and ask. Also you may want to contact the ethics division for the MN Dept of Education, and ask them the same. I really expect that the answers you get will relieve your mind greatly. 'But under any circumstances, this isn't something to worry and puzzle over--you need to pull your courage together and get a definitive answer, so you can make some real plans for your future. 'Best of luck to you!
