Thank you for your interest in my Postcard Exchange Project.
I �ve got 6 positive answers.That �s great!
If you can �t travel around the world,  learn about different countries from the people who live there.
My idea is to organize classrooms postcard exchange from many different countries.
Join us on a voyage of friendship and discovery and share this
excitement of getting mail and learning a little about the different countries and cultures.
I have never participated in a post card exchange.
I teach English to elementary pupils( 3rd,4th.5th and 6th grade).
I want to use the exchange in two ways:
1.) to get my students to read more preparing the research about the cities where the postcards come from.
2.) to use post cards to "generate" ideas for writing.
We would like to begin the exchange at
the beginning of October with my 6th graders( 11 years old).
If you are interested and willing to make the commitment,
please provide the following information:
-Name
-School and grade
-School �s full address
-E-mail
I �m looking forward to your answer!
cheers,

Hello there.
Well, when I read your post I remembered a site where I am a member and which deals with exchanging postcards. It works like Bookcrossing. Its main objective is to exchange postcards with random people all over the world. It �s really easy. You have to register, ask for one address, send a postcard and wait so that it gets registered on the site, then you will receive one postcard from another person. In fact, It �s a great idea if you want your students to get involved in a long-term project. I know you are looking for students from another countries, but you might consider trying this. The main language is English and you can meet all sorts of people from different areas of the globe. Well, it �s just an idea. I will leave here the name of the site, so that you can check it out, if u want.
