50 States Valentine Exchange By Krista

I am organizing a 50 states Valentine Exchange. It
works similar to a postcard exchange, except we exchange
valentines! You would be responsible for having your class
make and send a valentine to each participating

state. In return your class would receive a valentine from each state. Last year was so successful! Some people did this with just their class, some did their whole grade level, and some involved their entire school! Grade levels varied from kindergarten to 6th grade. We colored in a state on our map each time we received a card. Last year we had

46 out of 50 states participating!! The feedback
from last year was overwhelming! Many said it was their
favorite exchange ever and that their kids were SO excited
about receiving the cards in the mail! It was one of the
highlights of our school year!

We still need the following states: Alaska, Delaware, Hawaii, Kentucky, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Utah, and Vermont. If you are from one of these states, please join our exchange! Email me off list with your school mailing address: kristamalinhotmail.com
