Our world map so far!
We've labeled the oceans and continents. We've received post cards from Hong Kong, New Zealand, Australia, France, Rome, Scotland, England and the Netherlands :)
Welcome to Project Postcard! I am a fifth grade teacher at a Title 1 School in Las Vegas, Nevada. Using a massive velcro map, I teach my students about regions of the United States and surrounding countries using post cards from around the world. However, I need your help in completing our massive map!

Call for College Post cards!
In honor of CCSD's college week, I'm asking for you to send us a post card from your college with a description of what you're studying and why your college/university is awesome. (Also if you are currently teaching at a college, we'd love to hear from you as well!) Any academic advice you have for my fifth graders is very much appreciated!
Maps so far!

(We are going state by state and looking at different regions, so don't be alarmed if you don't see your post card yet, don't worry!)
