Postcard Field Trip- Traveling the World Through Library Curriculum

Monday, June 27, 2022

2:30pm – 3:30pm

Location: Washington Convention Center, 152A

My rural community is already a pretty isolated place, so when the pandemic and lockdowns hit, I knew I needed a way to help my students really see outside of what they could see from their windows. So I started something I call Postcard Field Trip. I started researching books about and from each state, territory, and country. I wrote to every tourism board I could find to request postcards, stickers, anything. When we started the 2020-2021 school year, we started learning about travel, communities, cultures, people, history, landmarks, whatever I could find. We have been learning so many fun things and I want to share that knowledge and information with others. Come see what we did and help broaden the horizons for your kids, too.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion, participant will be able to find books to help students see the world.
Upon completion, participants will be able to create a program at their own school.
Upon completion, participants will have resources to help them provide learning experiences for their students.
