Thank you to all!

It has been a while since we have been able to update our blog because we have been so busy in school. Here is out official map of postcards sent and received:

You can tell that we are getting many postcards and sending out many as well.

We have been receiving "official"postcrossing postcards from Finland, Germany, Latvia, Czech Republic and New Zealand. We have also received cards from others in Jamaica, England and France.

Here are some pictures of our most recent cards:

This one comes from Angharad in New Zealand. This postcard shows off a Maori Meeting house on the island of Marae. You must remove your shoes before entering this building to show respect. The two official languages of New Zealand are English and Maori. "Kia Ora" means "hello" in Maori.



This card is from Anja in Leipzig, Germany. Children in Germany enjoy many of the same things as children in the USA. They like to watch TV, play video games and play sports like soccer (they call it football) and horseback riding.


This postcard shows off the buildings in Strasbourg, France. This city is very close to Germany. This is the city where you can find the European Parliament!

Thank you, Louise!

We received our very first postcard in the mail today! Louise from England sent us a thank you postcard of the Tower Bridge in London. This is not an "official" postcrossing postcard, so it does not show up on our map. Louise sent it to our class because she is such a kind person. Thank you so much, Louise!

Another postcard was received!

Great news! Our postcard that was sent to Switzerland was received today. This postcard only took 6 days to get to its destination. Here is the message that was sent via e-mail:

Hello and thanks for the card. The best wishes for all in the class and greetings from Switzerland.

From,

Rita

Next week we will mail another card out to Portugal. We are hoping to get our first card in the mail soon!

December 10 - Postcard received!

Another postcard was received in England today! Here is the message that we got via e-mail:

Dear Kyrell,
Thank you for the postcard :)
I shall send one back to you soon.
Sincerely,
Louise

Here is the updated map of our travelled postcards:

Our postcard to Louise travelled across the Atlantic Ocean to England, which is a country in the continent of Europe.

Today we sent out two new postcards. One is going to Switzerland and we have another one going to Germany.

The first postcard was recieved!

Good news Ms. Drotar!

The postcrossing user "Dibit" received the postcard you've sent!

The user wrote the following message to you:

Hi! Thank you for your postcard! I like it. Greetings to all pupils in class 202!
Greetings from Germany!

Nadja





Our postcard to Nadja travelled 7,577 kilometers and crossed over the Atlantic Ocean.

Greetings World!

We are working hard on learning how to write letters. We are focusing on the parts of a letter as well as using commas in the proper location.

Last week we sent off our first batch of postcards. Look out England, Finland, Germany, Italy and Netherlands! You've got mail!
