What a fun way to learn about the United States incorporating geography, map skills, language arts and history!
Project Coordinator: Mrs. Rebecca Little, Exceptional Children's Teacher East Alexander Middle School 1285 White Plains Road Hiddenite, NC 28636 rebecca_little@alexander.k12.nc.us or verystillwater@hotmail.com
Goal: Participants receive a postcard from a classroom in all fifty states. As each postcard arrives, the class can discuss each state's major industry, fascinating historical events, and unique facts.
I will list all participants on this blog as they sign up.
This project is open to only one Elementary or Middle School classroom per state.
Committment: Each teacher should plan to purchase 50 postcards that represent your state (or create your own postcard using thick tagboard or watercolour paper!) and 50 postcard stamps. Postcards should be mailed during the month of October.
*Plan for classroom time to decide what you will put on your postcards and time for the students to print the information on your cards. This could take up to 2 class periods.
My committments to you:
1. I will send out a mailing label page to each of the participating schools at the end of September. You can use the Microsoft Word document to divide among your class so that they can print the addresses themselves; or you can print the information on Avery Laser Labels (5160).
2. Post weekly to this blog showing information from each of the 50 states.
Postcard Information: Share major facts about your state. Please include your state's major industry, a fascinating historical fact and anything else your class wants to include!
Registration:
