*Create a class scrapbook
*Make a bulletin board display. Connect the postcard to it's corresponding state using a piece of colored yarn.
*Journal about each postcard as it is received. "I would (or would not) like to live in _________ because_______"
*Have students create a brochure or poster
*Create a mural
*Use an atlas or an online map program (such as Mapquest) to figure out driving distances to each school. Which school is closest to your school? Which is farthest away?
*Have each student pick 2 post cards and complete a compare/contrast project
*Learn the 50 states and capitol cities
*Write the names of the states on index cards and pass out to students. Play a song that lists the states and have students stand up as their state is mentioned.
*Visit websites on the 50 states.
*Have a design contest and print out some of the winning designs to send out.
