Killingly Memorial School

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.

We're having fun with this! It is our first year to participate.

We're getting a lot of press with our project! The Tulsa World is doing a feature story with our class!

Though we aren't in their grade group, we've been in touch with the school in Uzbekistan. Here's a bulletin board that the fifth grade put up. They also have a copy of the wonderful poem those children wrote to us about friendship! Thanks and a big hello to them and all!

Cherry Classroom Display #2

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.

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.

#359 Irving School

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.
