Postcard Exchange

Do you want to participate in a postcard exchange? I do!! Well, I was late to the party over at Primary Graffiti and my state was already taken. So I took Cheryl's advice and I am going to begin another exchange.


A postcard exchange is where 50 teachers (one from each of our great states) agrees to have their students write and mail the postcards out to the other participants.




You will need 50 postcards. Mail out 49 postcards, keep one for yourself. You will need to purchase postcards and stamps.





I would like to open the exchange to all teachers who have a blog, website, wiki or any other means to share postcard exchange updates, pictures, etc... Don't worry if you don't have a blog yet. Kristen from Ladybug Teacher Files has done some wonderful tutorials on how to get a classroom blog started very quickly. This can be your opportunity to start one! I would like for all participants to be able to share in some form and a blog is super easy!


The exchange will be open on a first come, first serve basis. All participants should mail out their postcards by the end of October. The deadline is set to allow time for correspondence between participants throughout the upcoming school year. Look HERE to see if your state is available.

I would like for all participants to include an introduction to their classroom and a fact about their state. Please also include a line "want to learn more about ____________, just Skype us at _________" OR "want to learn more about __________, just contact us at ___________."

If you would like to join the exchange email me at
mechele.barrow@gmail.com.

Please include in the email your name, state and blog. I will then send you a conformation email. If a reply isn't made within several days, I will select the next person available.
