Mail Unit
We officially kicked off our mail unit this week and the Pre-K students are so excited! First, we learned how to mail a letter, how the Post Office works, and what a mail carrier does. Then, the students were introduced to our new, mail-themed lessons on the shelves.
 |
| Basil is delivering the packages to the correct houses using their address while identifying numbers into the thousands. |
 |
| Gavin is matching mail trucks and mail bags using capital and lowercase letters. |
 |
| Derek is sorting by colors and arranging packages from smallest to largest. |
 |
| Kalea is matching patterns and stamps on envelopes. |
 |
| Dmitri is finishing the stamp patterns. |
 |
| Johnny is counting the room by counting envelopes on the mail truck. |
 |
| Vienna is counting stars on envelopes and matching them to the correct numeral from 11-20. |
 |
| Hali is counting stars on envelopes and matching them to the correct numeral from 1-10. |
 |
| Connor loved learning about what a mail carrier does. |
 |
| Carina is coloring her picture of a mail carrier. |
 |
| Amelia is reading the words on the envelopes and matching them to the correct pictures. |
The most exciting part of our day is when the mail arrives! We have our very own mailbox in the classroom. When the flag is up, we know the mail is here!
 |
| AJ and Teigen are excited to see who the mail is from today! |
So far, we have received mail from 12 different states and 3 different countries. AMAZING! The boys and girls LOVE this unit and look forward to checking the mail everyday.
 |
| A huge thank you to Mahalia's Aunt Jamey who sent us a letter from Indiana along with money to buy a special treat for the class. Hali chose soft pretzels and we enjoyed them together today! |
