Hello! I'm new to Nebraska, just moved up from KC, and I was wondering if there is a teacher store in the Lincoln area? I saw one off of Randolph (I believe) but it was permanently closed. Are there any others?
Thanks!

Do you celebrate the 100th Day of school! We are putting together a fun cumulative project to help celebrate the 100th Day of School-The 100th Day Postcard Exchange! We are in need of a classroom from your state and we hope you’ll join us!

We are putting together a fun cumulative project to help celebrate the 100th Day of School-The 100th Day Postcard Exchange! We are in need of a classroom from your state and we hope you’ll join us!
Here’s how it works:
-We have a growing member list of classrooms from across the United States! Our goal is 100 classrooms (2 from each state)! We are well on our way but are missing at least 1 room from your state hence why we are contacting you!
-Each classroom receives a very well organized member list that shows all classrooms, their mailing addresses, their e- mail addresses, and 2 check off columns )1 a sent to column and 1 a received column). This list serves as a check off chart and informational chart for the program. You will have the names of all 99 classrooms and they will have yours.
-You and your class will create a message to include on your postcards it should have 2 state or city facts and at least 1 school fact about your school! This message can be the same for all postcards and can even be typed up and printed out to be glued on to the postcards!
-POSTCARDS-Can be created by your class out of card stock, can be order through sites such as Vista Print for free or minimal cost, or can be collected from your students (ie-if you have 20 kids each could bring in 5 postcards a piece with postage on them and you would be done). Postage may also be paid by your district or administrator if you present them with your project information!
-As you send out and receive postcards you can check them off on your membership list. All postcards need to be sent out by the end of December-you can send them out 1 @ a time, 5/week if you start in September (not counting holiday weeks), or all 99 @ once!
-It’s a great display in your room or hall if you hang a map of the US and then attach your cards to the corresponding state as they come in!
***@ the end of the exchange by your 100th Day of school you will have received 100 postcards which is a great way to share with your students what 100 truly looks like!
If this is something you would be interested in as a learning and fun experience for your students this year please e-mail me back your name, grade level, and school mailing address and I will forward your information to our facilitator! She in turn will e-mail you a newbie member informational e-mail asking for your RSVP and then you are official!
Our hopes are that this will be a yearly project for all of us due to our commitment to learning and seeing the enjoyment and knowledge it brings to our kiddos!
We hope to hear from you soon-
The 100th Day Postcard Exchange Gail St.Pierre [email removed]
We only need these states to complete our postcard exchange: DELAWARE, INDIANA, IOWA, MINNESOTA, MONTANA, NEBRASKA, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NORTH DAKOTA,VERMONT,and WYOMING

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
