Postcards for a teacher
 
Hi all,
Another school year is about to begin and I was trying to come up with something new for my bulletin board. I teach special ed.--lang. arts, reading and social studies--so I was thinking it would be very meaningful if I could hang postcards from the regions of the world that we learn about.

I have a dozen or so postcards but that's not enough. My 6th graders will learn about the following places:
Europe, including Russia
N. America
S. America
Oceania

I don't want bags of postcards coming to my school but would like a really a cool classroom.

Thanks in advance!
OWJ

I don't feel comfortable just posting my address on the web, so email me at [email protected] and I will be happy to give you the snailmail address.

Thanks again!

(I'm posting this on a couple of different bulletin boards in hopes that I'll get one or two postcards from each country (and all Australian states)

Hi Bokhara!
Thank you so much--I got your email. Time to check your box now :)

OWJ

To everyone: My goal is to get a postcards from every state and territory in Australia, from New Zealand and whatever S. Pacific islands I can.

Anyone, anyone, Bueller, Bueller??

Bokhara Aug 9th, 2005 02:04 PM

OWJ - First one (from Sydney) in the mail today.
Cheers, Bokhara

Thanks, Bokhara.

If your fellow Aussies see this, I would love postcards from QLD, Tas, Vic, WA, NT, SA...and if anyone is going to some islands in the S. Pacific and wouldn't mind mailing me a postcard, I'd be very appreciative!!

You can find me at [email protected]

(Anyone going to Latin America by chance??)

Hi, have emailed you, will check the souvenir shops tomorrow!

OneWanderingJew Aug 11th, 2005 02:34 PM

Ozgirl--Haven't gotten your email--or don't think I have....but do appreciate you helping me out!

Thanks so much!

PaulS Aug 12th, 2005 03:51 PM

Any responses from Melbourne/Victoria yet? Postcards poised if required, from the Dandenong Ranges.

OneWanderingJew Aug 13th, 2005 07:55 AM

Paul--Thanks for getting me a card from Vic!! I keep telling people that I wish I could go back and get them myself. I LOVE Australia!!

If you happen to know anyone in other parts of Australia, feel free to give them my address.

OWJ

Liz or Pat--Would either of you mind sending a postcard from QLD?

ozgirl Aug 17th, 2005 12:18 AM

Hi OWJ. Apologise for not sending off yet but they will be on the way tomorrow! I am off to Tasmania tomorrow, do you need one from there?

pat_woolford Aug 17th, 2005 01:15 AM

Sure, OWJ, in the mail tomorrow.

christellefv Aug 17th, 2005 04:47 AM

Do you need a postcard from Quebec (French province in Canada)!?

Neil_Oz Aug 17th, 2005 02:01 PM

OWJ, you omitted the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). Not that I'm sensitive or anything...

OneWanderingJew Aug 17th, 2005 06:56 PM

I do need one from Tasmania, Ozgirl!! Thanks.

Neil--My omission of the ACT was not a slight, just an oversight. Alan sent me several cards, one being from the ACT.(Thanks Alan!) I also have a good friend who lives there but she has not quite gotten around to sending off a postcard. She may be on my ---- list soon. LOL

Hi
I'm a teacher too. what a cool idea. Would you like cards from the UK? England and wales and also France?
Masha

OneWanderingJew Aug 20th, 2005 06:17 PM

Masha--I have postcards from England and France but could use one from Wales (and if by chance you have one from either N. Ireland or Scotland, that would be great!)

Email me and I'll provide my school's address.

Thanks so much!

TTT for Kopp

The project is still a work in progress. I plan to expand my postcard map again this year in my new classroom :)
