Wisconsin

Postcards from Wisconsin:



We received an amazing set of postcards in the mail yesterday. It is a great example of how family connections have helped this project! A student's grandparents have friends who sent us postcards with all kinds of information about Wisconsin. We learned that Wisconsin is a beautiful state, with the nickname "The Dairy State". We learned that Wisconsin has lakes and the North Woods, and the Green Bay Packers! The people who sent us the postcards are from Cedarburg, which is the home of the last covered bridge in Wisconsin!

12/8/11 Today we received three excellent postcards from Wisconsin, all from the same people. They shared some great information with us: Wisconsin has a population of over 5,500,000 people. The University of Wisconsin football team is called the Badgers. A badger is a really mean vicious animal. The people who sent us the postcards put an X on the map on the city where they live! They also said that it is already winter in their area and that it was only 24 degrees that day there and that they had already had snow.
