Children's Postcard Exchange

[pamnock]

As many of you know, I live in the USA andhomeschool my children including 7 year old Matthew. We arecurrently doing a section on "Children of the World" and I am lookingfor children around Matthew's age from foreign countries who would liketo exchange a postcard with him.

Interested parties can email me privately at [email protected]



Many thanks to those who can help me with this project that will be fun and educational for kids!

hey pam
i have a sister who turned 9 in july that said she would be intrested in writeing to him.
my own daughter is only 2 she could send her scribbles but im not sure he would understand!
did u want someone that spoke a different language or english?

 

[pamnock]

Language doesn't matter - our primary goal is tobe able to find the country that the postcard came from (forgeography). Writing the postcards with also help with grammarskills.

If you'd like to send your sister's mailing address to the email addy Iprovided, we'll send a postcard right out and I'll email you ourmailing addy so she can reciprocate. Pictures and lettersabout writers and their countries are also welcome. (We'll even takescribbles from a 2 year old LOL)

I thank you so much for your quick response. Matthew is going to be thrilled!

Hey Pam...

I know I'm not in a different country, but California sure is a longway from PA as far as just about everything, so maybe he'd like apostcard from my daugther? She's going to be 7 in Feb, andI'm sure would be thrilled to send him a postcard!

Let me know what you think...I haven't brought the idea up to her yet.

i think this post card exchange is a great idea!
my sister loves writting, lol its only dec 1st and already ive got 3 christmas cards off her!

she is also just after moving schools so instead of going to an englishspeaking school she is now in a strict all irish speaking school!
so she might write a few lines in our native language!

 

[pamnock]

Postcards from US states would certainly help with studying all the states!

I bought 8 PA postcards today, but will certainly pick up more if needed

Thank you Rosie and Mike. Mike - can you have Kristi send hermailing addy to [email protected] -subject postcard exchange?

Certainly looking forward to exchanging with Jeremy also Cheryl!

Matthew will address and send out postcards as mailing addresses arereceived by us. (Remember not to post them publicly - send them to myemail addy at [email protected]) all addresses will be kept private and deleted afterMatthew sends out his postcards.

He is really looking forward to this! Thank you everyone!!!

Super!



I can't believe other families also have "how loud can you scream" contests!

Stephanie and Matthew love to do that - I can't believe that no one has ever called the policeLOL

Kellie D. and Jeremy M. - Your postcards were mailed out yesterday, so please let us know if you don't receive them.

That would be wonderful! More than one from each country arecertainly welcome in case someone doesn't send a card back to Matthew.

So far, the addresses we have received to send a postcard to are:

Kellie D. of Ireland

Thank you!

Oh! I just realized! Myhusband's cousin, Joyce, (with whom I've become close friends) has adaughter named Vanessa, who I believe is about 10yrs. Wouldhe like to exchange postcards with her, too?

I'll ask Joyce if she'd like to do it before I give out her address, obviously! Hehe!

 

[pamnock]

Thank you Rosie!

A postcard will be heading out to Emily in Sun Valley, CA!
