Today we started our classroom mail. We read some of "The Jolly Postman" which included real letters they took out of envelopes. There was an apology letter to the three bears from Goldilocks and another to the giant from Jack of Jack and the Beanstalk. Students then had a chance to write a letter to a friend or family member. Each morning, whoever is the mail carrier for the week will deliver mail to our classroom mailboxes, to other classrooms or to zipper bags if students have written to a family member. They are all anxiously awaiting the morning mail delivery!
At home, you can encourage your child to write letters too or to write emails to family members. Including photographs would make it even more fun. As well, it would be helpful for students to know their home address so that they can address their letters to a family member. Many students could either tell their house number OR their street name.
