Last year was so much fun so let's do it again!
Do you want to participate in a postcard 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... Check out the page just for the postcard exchange. If you keep reading to the bottom you will see a list of what states in the exchange are filled.
The exchange will be open on a first come, first serve basis. All participants should mail out their postcards by Thanksgiving Break. The deadline is set to allow time for correspondence between participants throughout the upcoming school year.
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 atmechele.barrow@gmail.com.
Please include in the email your name, state and blog/class website. I will then send you a conformation email. If a reply isn't made within several days, I will select the next person available.
We still need participants from the following states:

Hi Mechele,
ReplyDeleteI love the post card idea, but live in Thailand. Maybe in the future you could do an international exchange. :-)
I nominated you for The Versatile Blogger Award. Come by and check it out.

Mechele, I could only access a read-only format of the Google Doc, so I was unable to add my info. I'm definitely interested in participating, and I emailed you my info.
ReplyDeleteI just emailed you. I am from Iowa and would love to join the postcard exchange. Please let me know if you don't get my email. I emailed you a couple of days ago and am wondering if you didn't get the first email.
