To help celebrate Arizona’s birthday a postcard making contest was created for 3rd graders by Dr. Kristen Rex. Lessons and activities were developed to support teachers’ needs to meet 3rd grade state standards on Arizona history. Over 2,000 students have participated to date, 700 postcard art pieces are scored for creativity, accuracy in art and social studies, and 6 postcards are selected as winners. Winning students earned their class a pizza party, swag bag, and their teachers a year’s membership to the Arizona Historical Society.
Dr. Rex organizes this program and she travels the state, hand delivering the awards to each student and celebrating with the classroom.
What a great way to learn about Arizona history. The students get involved and perhaps continue with the National History Day Arizona program.
