2009 Fab 50 Postcard Exchange: Information

The goal is that each classroom participating will receive postcards from the other 49 states. It’s a fun way for students to learn math, geography, map skills, and language arts. Please do not sign up unless you are committed to participating.  *Participants will need to buy or create 49 postcards that show your state.*  The back of your postcard is to teach everyone on the exchange about your state. You can include: your state symbols (bird, tree, flower) your state nickname(the land of Lincoln) important people who have lived in your state your state’s major industry or resource weather in your state information about your classroom/school.  Please plan on __preparing__ all postcards with students and __mailing__ all postcards by the end of <span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">OCTOBER <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; font-size: 110%; color: rgb(0, 0, 128);">. Remember, the entire exchange is depending on you to represent your state! Then, as the teacher you can hold on to all the postcards and share with your class when it works best for you. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; font-size: 110%; color: rgb(0, 0, 128);">At the end of August (or when we have 50 states signed up) I will email you a Word document in an Avery label template with all 50 addresses. You can have students neatly write the addresses or print them on labels. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; font-size: 110%; color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"> <span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Thank you so much for your interest! <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; font-size: 110%; color: rgb(0, 0, 128);">
