100 Day Postcard Exchange k-3 classrooms needed

by Gail St.Pierre

Aug 5, 2009

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!

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 ...See MoreDo you celebrate the 100th Day of school!

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-
