Hi,
I am a kindergarten teacher from Chicago, IL and this is the third year I am organizing a Nationwide Christmas card exchange. Approximately fifty teachers (one from each state) and one military base from Japan classrooms will participate in the 2012 exchange. Teachers will be chosen simply by whoever responds first. I teach kindergarten, but I am opening up the exchange to any elementary classroom.
Each teacher will send approx. 50 cards and they will receive that many in return (depends on the exact number of participants). Cards can be store bought or homemade. Along with your card I ask each teacher to prepare a little note about your classroom as well as a few facts about your state.
As people reserve their spot/state I am typing all of the addresses in to an Avery label format in Microsoft Word so all you have to do is print the labels and send the cards!
I am planning on emailing the label format sheets to all teachers during this third week in November and I am asking all teachers to mail their cards no later than the last week in November. I want all teachers to be able to enjoy all of their cards throughout the entire month of December.
Last year I printed a large map of the United States (I can send you link to a free one) and I made a huge bulletin board surrounded with cards. We colored in the states one by one as we received our cards. My kids learned so much during this project last year and my parents loved hearing about the “states of the day”.
If you would like to participate please e-mail me at [email protected] with the following info:
