UPDATE Thank you so much everyone who has signed up! I’m pausing this for now because I don’t want to overcommit and I think right now we have enough people to write to to last us through the semester! Thanks again ya’ll are great
Hi everyone!
Before COVID closed down schools in 2020 I had set up individual swaps with some of you for our students. We only got through about half of them before schools closed but we are now starting our Postcrossing back up! Unfortunately everyone’s usernames that I saved are from the old forum and not all of them seem active here so I am just starting a new post to see if anyone from before or new folks would like to participate!
If so let me know your address and I will add you to our list. When you get a card from one of my students then let me know you got it and I will give you OUR address so that you can write back to that same student. We were doing Postcrossing through the traditional website not the forum but students didn’t like that they wouldn’t get a card back from the SAME person they sent to
If you are sending a card to our students please tell them about yourself, what type of job you have, what interesting hobbies you do, or anything culturally unique about your country or where you live. If you are from here in the US tell about what it is like where you live! Our students are from inner city Los Angeles and most have not travelled or been exposed to many cultures.
Thank you and looking forward to more swaps
P.S. CHINA AND CANADA! We have a scratch off map we are using when we receive cards and the Canada and China on the map includes the states so if you are from either of those countries when you write to us please tell us the name of your state/province!
