The first issues of the 2009 stamps include the 50th anniversary of Alaska statehood , 150th anniversary of Oregon Statehood, this year's Lunar New Year stamp featuring the Year of the Ox and a stamp commemorating Edgar Allan Poe. These stamps can lead to a number of lesson plans in geography, history, literature, and multi-cultural ideas just to name a few.
Roy, thanks for your kind comment on my blog, I think that you have a great idea here, using the stamps as an educational tool, you sound like a wonderful teacher!
