2009 Celebration Calendar/Map Project

In anticipation of our fast approaching trip to Disney, we came up with a fun and educational project for my kids to focus on. We are hoping to get a number of volunteers to send us a post card, birthday card or even just short letter or note while we are at Disney. My daughter loves getting mail and since we'll be celebrating her 5th birthday it will make her visit even more magical to get mail WHILE we are on vacation! In the card/note, can you answer three questions for our project?

1. Where do you live and/or where were you born? [City/state, or whatever]

2. When is your birthdate [month/day] and what are you planning to do to celebrate it? (Or do you have a favorite birthday celebration memory or something esle special you'll celebrate? Tell us about it!)

3. Name something interesting you've seen/would like to see at Disney World.

Keli (turning 5) is creating a birthday calendar marking everyone's birthday's on the various dates. It will help her learn her months and practice her numbers. We can also learn a lot about how other people celebrate birthdays

Joshua who will be 6 almost 7 is plotting the locations on the map. I think it will be a fun way to learn the states and improve his map reading skills.

From the Disney World question, we'll create a scavenger hunt/check list type activity.

PM me and I'll send you our information! Or let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks,
Julie Marie

As per the recent request, here is the list of states. I started a list at work and forgot to bring it home so this may not be exact, but here goes. States in BOLD I've received a response on. States not in bold I still need. I'm happy to get a couple from the same state, too but it would be nice to get a good number of different states (or even countries!). Let me know if I missed anyone obvious!
