Teach Preschool Postcard Exchange 2013

The end of September is here and a month of school has already passed us by!  This summer, I took a leap of faith and joined a postcard exchange online which was organized by my favourite website for all things Kindergarten, www.teachpreschool.org.  

 

We exchanged addresses with other Preschool and Kindergarten classes in the U.S. and internationally.  Our group consists of 11 U.S. States and one school in New Zealand!  So far, we have received 2 postcards. Out of this, came a Canadian connection so I've been invited to exchange with 5 other Canadian schools stretching from Alberta to Nova Scotia!!   I put up a world map and labeled where they came from with the children. 

I used star stickers with numbers on them to show where each one was from.

 

I created personalized post-cards to send off to our friends from afar.

 

We took a walk to our neighbourhood mailbox to mail some of our postcards out.

We can't wait to get more postcards from our friends around the world.  We also look forward to mapping where they came from together.  Stay tuned...
