First Annual Canadian Postcard Exchange!

Although it's a little unconventional for a "Monday Made It", I am linking up with Fourth Grade Frolics once again. As always, click on the icon to go to the Linky Party and see what other teacher bloggers have made this week!

Please Note: This is my spin on an American postcard exchange I saw online. If you're the original creator of this exchange, please comment below, so I can give you proper credit.

Canadian Postcard Exchange

Please read carefully to ensure you wish to participate.  If you cannot commit to this project, please do not sign up!

This exchange is open to Kindergarten to Grade 5 teachers across Canada. I will be accepting two entries from each province and territory. To sign up, please click here.  Please check below to see which provinces and territories are still available. This exchange will be on a first come, first served basis.

Supplies Needed: 25 postcards, 25 stamps, and 25 labels  You will receive 25 postcards in exchange.

Here’s how it works: Compose the postcards with your students, so that they contain unique information about your province or territory, as well as information about your school and city. You are welcome to do this in any manner you choose, but in the past, I have done it as a shared writing activity which I type (and project on the interactive board). I then print and assemble the postcards, which the students decorate. 

It is up to you how you want to use the postcards you receive. I plan to save mine for our communities unit and mark the location of each postcard on a map. Another fun idea is to look up the addresses of each school on Google Maps!

This exchange DOES cost money. Plan to pay for your postcards, stamps, and labels.  

Once you have signed up, you CANNOT change your mind, as other classes will be expecting your postcards to arrive.

I will prepare labels with each participant's name and address and email you the file in September.  You will need to print them out and attach them to the postcards. All postcards should be mailed out by the end of November 2013.
