The 50 State Mail Race is underway. Students have already researched school addresses and worked on questions for a questionnaire.
What is this 50 State Mail Race, you ask?
Every year, students write to third grade classrooms in all 50 states asking them to partake in the mail race by completing the included questionnaire and mailing it back as soon as possible. The questionnaire asks third graders questions regarding their school and grade 3 experience. We then plot the information here in class. This year we hope to Skype with a volunteering class somewhere in the U.S.
A letter will soon be sent home explaining the race and asking for postage stamps. Be on the look-out for that.
Stay tuned for more 50 State Mail Race entries to keep-up on how we are doing!
