My children are so excited every time we get a postcard in the mail. During Circle Time we read and discuss the postcard and then 1 student is chosen to be the one to find it on our map.
Once it is found, we color in that state on our poster.
Here is what our map looks like as of Friday 11/18. We made our state rainbow colored so we could learn what it looks like.
Later, I take the postcard and put it on the wall around our quilt map connecting it to the state it came from.
I hope this finds you doing well and ready to celebrate a wonderful Thanksgiving. Many of your students might be traveling to other states this holiday season. This would be a good time to send out your postcards if you haven't done so already.
Happy Thanksgiving!~Rebecca
