Postcard Day & Postcrossing

World Postcard Day is on Thursday, October 1!


Find out more about it here https://worldpostcardday.com/

Would you like your students to write and send postcards for World Postcard Day? I would like to help:

• Provide a lesson plan & resources (see attached from World Postcard Day website)
• Provide customized materials, screencasts, or come visit your class to show my postcard collection, etc. - just ask!
• Put out a call to families to ask them to donate postcards they may have around the house
• Order some of this year's World Postcard Day postcard to be custom printed (see design below) - cost is about 50 cents/card for small numbers (upt to 250) and less per unit for more cards.

Seek PTO support for custom printed postcards and stamps if needed?

Also - I am somewhat obsessed with Postcrossing, a free service where I send and receive postcards to/from all over the world. I've set up a school account for it and you can see the cards I've already received (and sent) on this blog. I would like to get some kids engaged in this. Please let me know if you are interested and I can tell you more about it and give you some idea of what we can do with it. Here's the card I got today from Russia!
