The second exciting event was the arrival of our first postcard from the postcard exchange. We got a postcard from Indiana. I have yet to do the map with the girls. We are going to review our town map from early in the summer, then I am going to show the girls a map of our area from mapquest that has a route laid out that we take occasionally, then a map of Pa, before showing them where Pa is on the USA map. That is the plan anyway. We did quite a bit on our penguin lapbooks today, so I decided to let them watch a Baby Einstein video we got out of the library instead of going into the map lesson.
If you would like to join us in the postcard exchange we would love to have you participate. We have sent out 3 postcards so far. Here are the rules again:
Anyway, if you want to join the fun, here's what you need to do:
1. Simply leave me a comment letting me know you're interested and I in turn will be in touch via email to exchange our mailing addresses.
2. Agree to "pay it forward" - i.e. send a postcard back to me. And, if you're interested, post about this on your own blog and get others involved, too. If you do, please include a link to my blog, thank you.
3. When selecting your postcards, choose ones with geographical pictures or images of things specific to where you live.

Awesome! Don't you just love it when you see your child learn the things that you have taught them. I will check out your blog as soon as I get some free time (hopefully soon). Thank you for your comment on my blog. I REALLY appreciate it! I work very hard to keep Alyssa interested in learning and it is always GREAT to find individuals that support what I am doing with her. Please stop by anytime.
