Postcard Geography By Mrs. Sovine

I'm not sure how to ensure that you get a postcard from all the states. But I think that is one of the neat things about this project. It is a challenge to see how many you acutally get. I am relying on boards like this,

friends in other states, and family members of my students. So far it has been a bit slow, but I'm sure things will pick up. I had to go to the airport to get postcards. I didn't realize how hard they were to find. It is amazing how things change in just a matter of years. Anyway, I'll be sending a postcard to all the addresses listed here. They will be in the mail

by Friday. Please make sure you send us one back.

So far we have one from 6 states and 1 country. Only 1 of those cards has been from another teacher. We have sent postcards to all those that put their return address on the cards.

My students really enjoy getting the cards. I had them write messages on our cards. This is such a good learning activity. You could even do some math by calculating the cost of postage.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.
