My middle school students and I have started a post card writing project through www.postcrossing.com. Postcrossing generates random address of other members and we can send them a postcard. We have been sending post cards all across the world - Portugal, UK, Germany, Taiwan, Finland, Russia, Japan, India, Australia, South Korea. We have been receiving some as well - Germany, Australia, Taiwan, Brazil, Belgium, Canada, and the US. You can see some of the post cards below. Ask your student about this project. We love sending and receiving post cards!
