Do you have a success story to share? Have you received press coverage for your work with Postcard Geography? Do you have photographs of the "project in action" in your classroom? Have you created a web site to share your project implementation? |

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 |
