Postcard Exchange Procedures

     The United States Postcard Exchange is a way for students to learn about the United States. It helps students with geography skills, writing skills, and much more. Listed below are the procedures that I will be using to host the postcard exchange. All grade levels are welcome to apply to this postcard exchange. Please read carefully before making the decision to participate. If you choose to participate, please remember that others are counting on you to mail the postcards in a timely manner.

Procedures:

1. Your postcard must include information about your state. You may also include information about your city, school, and classroom. If you have a classroom website, include the website address.

2. Postcards may be handmade or store bought.

3. Messages may be typed or handwritten. If messages are handwritten, please make sure that others can read the message.

4. Please try to include the students in the process of the postcards as much as possible.

5. All postcards MUST be mailed no later than November 23, 2010.

   I will e-mail all participants no later than September 10, 2010 with the list of addresses. At that time, please check for errors. If there are errors, please e-mail me immediately.

   If you develop a bulletin board to showcase your postcards, please take a picture and e-mail it to me. I will make a webpage that will show all the different ways the schools have displayed their postcards. Be sure to include your name, your school name, and the state. I will also link the webpage to any classroom websites.

  If interested in participating, please send me your name, grade level, school name, school address, and your e-mail to cobbj@lcsc.k12.in.us or finchteach@sbcglobal.net.

  If your state is taken, it will have a line through it. If there is no line, your state is still available.
