Postcards for Inner City Kids
To help my students learn about geography we are collecting postcards from all 50 states and countries all over the world. If you would like to send us a postcard we would really appreciate it. On the postcard if you would tell about the food people enjoy in your area, monuments or attractions, weather, ect... The address to send cards to is The Postcard Project: c/o Jessica Johnston- Leggett Elementary School- 619 Sumner St-Akron, OH 44311

Of course! Watch for one from New Mexico - what a great way that I can involve my daughter in 29 gifts -- when i get to round 2 we're going to do it together! But we'll send one off this weekend ...

Just to follow up Jessica - I got a tweet back from a guy who owns a postcard store in Missouri - he said he's putting together a package of postcards from all over! Here is his twitter account with his website link:

Thanks a lot everyone, the kids actually ask me every week if we got any more postcards. I am going to make them into a book at the end of the year so we can look back on them in years to come. It is a great learning experience and they really enjoy it. We made our own postcards earlier in the year with the theme "home is..." Can you tell I am an art teacher?????
