~~Registration is now CLOSED for this project~~

1. Your classroom will be placed in a team of up to 23 other classrooms from a variety of locations and grades.

2. Your classroom will also be placed with 1 Ronald McDonald House.

3. You and your classroom will need to create 1 card PER address for your group. (You can purchase cards but homemade ones are so much nicer. Though this project overlaps with Feb. 14th......your cards DO NOT have to be Valentine Cards -- you are welcome to be as creative as you wish!)

4. You will need to create a document (brochure, letter, etc.) to place in each card. This information needs to include information about your classroom, your school, your city, and your location (state/country). This should not be teacher created. Please allow your students to contribute.

5. You are encouraged to create return address labels for your classroom.

6. Group listings will be mailed on or before January 27, 2008. They will be sent in PDF format. If you don't have adobe reader, please click Here. The listing will be in label format so feel free to either run them on label paper or cut and past onto the envelope.

7. Please double check inside each card to verify that the card has been signed, and has your school name, grade, and location. (Some classrooms allow the entire class to sign cards, some classrooms have individual students sign cards. That is fine. However, the teacher name, school, grade, and location need to be on each card somewhere.) Please put your GROUP # in the lower right corner of each envelope.

8. All cards must be mailed out by February 7, 2008 to ensure delivery during the week of February 11 - 15, 2008.

9. Once you receive a card, classrooms are encouraged to create a display of the cards. You are also asked to add your location to our Google Earth Map once you have received your card. Instructions for creating your placemark in Google Earth are available by clicking HERE!

10. Once you have received a card, please check them off your listing. If you like, you are also encouraged to send an email letting them know that the card arrived. (However, this is a suggestion onlly!!)

11. The card which you send to the Ronald McDonald home will probably NOT receive a response. This is a good opportunity to share with your students about anonymous giving and also the joy that one feels when receiving mail.

12. If you wish to create a website to display your part of the project, please mail me the link when it is ready to be displayed.

13. Please visit our update page OFTEN for new project news.

14. If at any time during the project, you have questions, comments, or concerns....please contact me right
