I live in New York State and like to pick up postcards wherever I go so I can share them with my students. They work well to supplement lessons in history and also as nonfiction reading. The kids really love my collection.
One of the goals I have for teaching is to expose children to the wonderful diversity in the world. I had the idea to begin using postcards to reach this goal. But I am a new teacher, just starting to pay off my student loans, and don’t get to travel around too much. That’s where I thought the great people of America and of the world could help me out. It would be wonderful if people from every state and every corner of the world could send me a postcard to use in my classroom.
They are such wonderful conversation starters and because they are so unique (as opposed to books), students are very motivated to read them and learn. Reading messages from around the country and world would also be great. So if you have some extra change, it would so great if you could send me a postcard that will be used for years to come to teach children about the wonderful world around them!
