Here is out official map of postcards sent and received:</div><div><br /><br /></div><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157051281537210274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0Zfgdc8r9-8/R5GG0Tx_l6I/AAAAAAAAAAs/RMRkiIKwUlE/s320/Map+3.bmp" border="0" /><br /><br /><div>You can tell that we are getting many postcards and sending out many as well.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>We have been receiving "official"postcrossing postcards from Finland, Germany, Latvia, Czech Republic and New Zealand. We have also received cards from others in Jamaica, England and France. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Here are some pictures of our most recent cards:</div><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157052372458903506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0Zfgdc8r9-8/R5GHzzx_l9I/AAAAAAAAABE/1bF_lXfmOWI/s320/Postcards+070.jpg" border="0" />This one comes from Angharad in New Zealand. This postcard shows off a Maori Meeting house on the island of Marae. You must remove your shoes before entering this building to show respect. The two official languages of New Zealand are English and Maori. "Kia Ora" means "hello" in Maori. <br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157052359574001586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0Zfgdc8r9-8/R5GHzDx_l7I/AAAAAAAAAA0/V280EHXVPC0/s320/Postcards+072.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br />This card is from Anja in Leipzig, Germany. Children in Germany enjoy many of the same things as children in the USA. They like to watch TV, play video games and play sports like soccer (they call it football) and horseback riding. <br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157052368163936194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0Zfgdc8r9-8/R5GHzjx_l8I/AAAAAAAAAA8/ZvBY8qtiMP0/s320/Postcards+071.jpg" border="0" /><br />This postcard shows off the buildings in Strasbourg, France. This city is very close to Germany. This is the city where you can find the European Parliament!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/115635409407929129-2304555763554995396?l=msdpostcards.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ms. Drotarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02845729023377062006noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-115635409407929129.post-22993404626725546892007-12-17T15:28:00.000-08:002008-11-13T11:54:25.179-08:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0Zfgdc8r9-8/R2cGpjx_l5I/AAAAAAAAAAk/R0OgJC4Od7Q/s1600-h/MsDPostcards.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5145088410343413650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0Zfgdc8r9-8/R2cGpjx_l5I/AAAAAAAAAAk/R0OgJC4Od7Q/s320/MsDPostcards.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>We received our very first postcard in the mail today! Louise from England sent us a thank you postcard of the Tower Bridge in London. This is not an "official" postcrossing postcard, so it does not show up on our map. Louise sent it to our class because she is such a kind person. Thank you so much, Louise!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/115635409407929129-2299340462672554689?l=msdpostcards.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ms. Drotarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02845729023377062006noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-115635409407929129.post-74565391595659104712007-12-15T17:29:00.000-08:002008-11-13T11:54:25.337-08:00Great news!
