kj St. Louis Public Schools have been through all kinds of turmoil for the past decade--corporate analysts led to budget losses--there's a new supt this year who looks promising, but lots of schools are closing and more scheduled to close.

There are lots of great districts in the area though. Rockwood, Parkway, & Ladue are creme de la cre...See More

I am trying to find one elementary teacher from each state willing to participate in a project titled: Postcard Exchange with 50 States. I was wondering if you would be willing to partner with me and 48 other teachers from around the country? What would you have to do? You and your classroom would have to write a postcard to each state. (49 total-Handwritten or typed) I will have all addresses available that can be printed out easily on a label page. *If you decide to participate I will email that information to you. If you aren't interested, but know of a teacher in your state who might be, would you PLEASE forward this email to him/her? I'd really appreciate your help in this matter.

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!!)

Target finish date: November 15th
