The following states are needed for a postcard
exchange for the 2008 - 2009 school year:

Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, , Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont, Washington, Washington DC, Wyoming

A postcard exchange is an exciting way for your students to learn about the US. If you are interested, you would send one postcard to each of the other states that will be on the list that I will send out via email. You would include information about your state on the postcard. For example, your capital, state symbols and any other important/interesting information about your state.

In exchange your class will receive a postcard from the
others on the list. It is very exciting for the students
to receive a postcard. I have a huge map of the US and
after we read the postcards, we post them on the map in
their proper places.

Please send your school name and address, your class name
(ex. Mrs. Smith's 3rd grade) and your email address to
lisa.baskowmillvillenj.gov or post a message.

this is a really neat idea. I have been in contact with a few ppl for pen pals, but it would be great to get involved in this too. I'm in PA, let me know what i need to do, or how to start a different/new one!

The kids (and I) LOVE the exchange! It is sooo exciting to get the postcards. There are so many teaching moments when they come.

Keep checking the teacher sites for an opening for PA. It's a lot of work if you try to start your own exchange. If you decide to start your own, let me know and I will try to help you.
