| The
Great Mail Race Web Resources |
This web page contains links to US state info, maps and games.
It also contains resources that will help teachers or students track
down addresses and email addresses of elementary throughout the
United States.
This project integrates Social Studies, Language Arts, Math,
and Technology. Students used the internet to identify elementary
schools in each of the 50 states. Each student then selected a
school and sent a survey with a cover letter explaining the project
to the 2nd grade teachers at the school. Responses were tallied
and recorded on a map of the US. Data received was entered in
a database. Students used internet resources to contact a school
to also gather the survey information via email. |

This is the survey form mailed or emailed to schools. For those
schools to which it was sent in email format, an RTF, text, AppleWorks,
and Word version were attached so that it could be opened regardless
of the receiving teacher's equipment, software, and expertise.
Students, with teacher guidance, used an AppleWorks 6 database
to enter survey information gathered from those schools that responded.
Returned survey data was entered into a database and discussed.
These files show samples of completed entries.
