This postcard appeared in my box some time yesterday and I grabbed it this morning (during “rounds”).

Thank you to the wonderful Jody Hayes (I used her name because it’s right on the top of their blog).

Palmerston North looks beautiful! Thanks so much!

Not only did I notice them setting up a tasty PTO luncheon for teachers (yum later on!) I saw FOUR postcards in my box!

The first is from South Bend, Indiana. Thanks everyone in South Bend at St. Joseph!

Then there were three more from Cheryl Lykowski! Thanks so much Global Explorers! We’re going to listen to your podcast about Michigan!

I couldn’t believe there was a bridge that’s 5 miles long!

And I’ve always heard Michigan was shaped like a hand…

Thanks so much you all!

One is tough to see, but it’s of Long Island Beach, NY and the second os from Manhattan.

As some of you know, I’ll have my first ever visit to NY in March for AERA. I’ve flown into JFK but that doesn’t count.

Thanks, South Paris Collaborative!

Exactly a week ago today I posted a request to the network asking for postcards. I also sent it out via Twitter and immediately I got a few responses.

Well, the fruits of that request are flowing in, as I received two postcards today!

One is from the incomparable Chrissy H from New Zealand…

The other is from the wonderful Kat Saton from Virginia!

Thank you to both these wonderful folks for sending my little girl’s class these postcards! I’ll deliver them this afternoon to the school.
