It's hard to believe but my Christmas vacation is almost over. There are only 100 more days of school until summer vacation. Every year I hit up my friends and family for postcards of their hometowns and/or vacation spots. We use them in class to learn about other areas and compare them to where we live. Our goal is to try and collect 100 postcards by the 100th day of school. Well, our 100th day is fast approaching and we still don't have 100 postcards.
I don't teach at an inner city school, but it is a city school and the kids in my kindergarten class don't get to travel much. These glimpses into other places have opened up a whole new world for them and they are planning the spots they would like to visit someday. So, if you would be willing to send us a postcard from your town or state or vacation spot I would greatly appreciate it. Our 100th day is on January 31st. It won't be a problem if your postcard arrives after that because we'll still be collecting postcards for the rest of the year.
Here's the address if you can help:
Ms. Brown's Class
Greynolds Park Elementary
1536 N.E. 179th Street
North Miami Beach, FL 33162

The Cat Blogosphere says you are looking for postcards. We have one ready to go. Look for one with a sailing ship (sometimes called a 'tall ship') on it. We live about an hour from the ship's home port in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Look for our postcard of a sailing ship (sometimes called a 'tall ship'). We live less than an hour from the Picton Castle's home port of Lunenburg in Nova Scotia, Canada.

We will send you a postcard from London! I teach a Year 2 class in London, UK. Year 2 here is 6-7 year olds, how old is kindergarten in the US, is that like our Year 1? I don't suppose your class would like British penfriends would they?

See Ms. Ginger, we'll get you post cards, and they'll be from all over the globe too. You only needed to ask!
ReplyDeleteI found your link on another blog. I was going to send a postcard until I read you were in N Miami Beach. I had thought to myself,"What kid in some snowy place like Minnesota or North Dakota wouldn't like to get a postcard from.................Ft Lauderdale!!!
ReplyDeleteWould you like international cards as well? I'm in Copenhagen, Denmark.
ReplyDeleteI think this is such a fantastic idea. What a great way to teach the children!
I have a postcard from Cold Lake, Alberta, Canada if you are interested.
