We will soon begin our study of Michigan geography in Social Studies. In order for us to learn about our great state; it is also important to learn about the other states in our wonderful nation. To add a little fun, we would like to receive postcards from all the states. This is where you come in! Please contact (call, email, Facebook.etc.) any friends or family that live in other states and request a postcard. Below is an example request:
"Hello! My child's 3rd grade class is studying the 50 states of our country. They would love to receive a postcard from each state. If you are able, please send a postcard to their class. Including a fact about your state on the postcard would make it extra special. Please mail the postcards to Park Elementary, Attn: Mrs. Haagsma, 5525 Park Ave. Hudsonville, MI 49426. Thank you!"
I will update you with which states have come in and which we are still missing. Each Monday during our “Monday Morning Meeting”, I will share any new postcards we received that week. Thank you so much for helping with this fun project!
We are looking forward to receiving mail from around our nation. We have a map to color in the states we have received a postcard from. Come stop by and check it out! This is an ongoing project and there is no deadline for the postcards. Hope to share our positive results soon!
Thank you for your support!
