Waretown School In November I entered our schools in the Postcard Geography Project.
We were given a list of hundreds of schools who had also signed up.
The idea was to make original postcards that tell about where we live. |

From The Hansen Homeschoolers
Johnstown, Ohio We at the Hansen Homeschool thoroughly enjoyed our adventure with
Postcard Geography. Every week as we patiently waited for the postcards
to arrive, we learned three new interesting facts about our state
Ohio to use when writing our postcards. For example, the state drink
is tomato juice, and Cedar Point, an amusement park, is well known
for having the most roller coasters than any other theme park. Also
we love the Buckeyes! |

Lafontaine Elementary Our school is in a small rural town. We are a one class per grade school. We have around 180 students, grade K-6. Our mascot is the Falcon. Our slogan is: Watch Us Soar! Thank you for your postcard. (2008-2009) |

Inverness Elementary This is a group picture of our scarecrow we decorated for our Fall Festival. We won third place for our lightning bug. We are called Bramlett's Brilliant Bugs so we chose to make a lightning bug. This is a third grade class at Inverness Elementary in Birmingham Alabama. We have enjoyed all the postcards and e-cards.

Angela
Montalto Here's how I displayed the postcards with my first grade class last year, and inspired others to join me at my school to start. I tried to make an ongoing postcard chart/graph on my wall for display and interaction but, it ended up not fitting totally. (I'll try a binder/scrapbook this year, or post them on my blog spot) I like to get my students input. :-)

We wanted the students to respond to the cards in a more permanent way than "My grandma lives there. I saw her last month." The balloons were perfect for that and tied into writing complete sentences. Joan Carlson (2003) |

| Our town newspaper is making a visit
to our school on Monday, Nov. 12 for an interview about Postcard Geography.
We have two classes that participate myself (#3) and Gayla Goff
(#216). We are very excited about this interview! On the left is a classroom
display and on the right, a hall display. Both were created by our students. Shelly Cherry, skcteacher@yahoo.com |

| #201 Richards Elementary School We are enjoying reading all of the postcards we are receiving from
our project partners. We read the text on each postcard (both printed
on the postcard itself and written by students), look at the pictures,
then talk about what is interesting, what geography connections we
can make, what is the same as WFB, and what is different than WFB.
Some of us have visited the places the postcards show so it's also
fun to talk about our travels! Here is our map, globe, and postcard
display. Mary Kreul, mkreu@ri.wfbschools.com |

This is a photo of our Postcard Board. The board is in the hallway for everyone to see. Across from the board is a map that has the locations of every postcard we have received. Each postcard has a numbered sticker on it and the corresponding sticker is on the map. Students in our room have different jobs for this project. Some are responsible for writing the addresses on the postcards we sent. Others are responsible for reading the postcards we get to the class. Another group of students is responsible for finding the location of the schools on our map. Everyone is involved and is enjoying our project. Chad Lehman, lehmch@mail.wawm.k12.wi.us |
