I am excited to tell you about one of my favorite projects that our class will be involved in this school year.  This project will help us learn about the United States and  world around us.  Using the cards we receive, the children will review and reinforce reading, geography, and math skills.

If your family travels during the school year we would like you to send the class a postcard showing where you were.  If you have family and friends that live outside of the metro area, please have them send us a postcard and tell the students something interesting about their town, city, or state.  It will be fun to see the pictures and read about places around the United States and other countries!

Family and Friends can send postcards to the following address:

D. Colonga- room 201 

 (Student's Name)

Lake Harriet Lower Campus
4030 Chowen Ave. S.
Minneapolis, MN  55410

 

(Some were e-mailed to our classroom)

Last year we received postcards from most of the states and from other countries around the world!  It was fantastic!

As the postcards start arriving, we will graph and tally them.  We also find the cities, states, and countries on the map.  The children really look forward to getting the mail every day!  The postcards will stay in the classroom during the school year and returned to your child at the end of the year.
