Cottage Preschool Visits the Post Office!

Recently the Cottage Preschoolers have been interested in writing letters, spelling words, and sending mail. Emily and I added materials such as envelopes, paper, and stickers to the house area for the children to explore.  We’ve also started a word wall, which the children have been using to write frequently used words, as well as new vocabulary they are learning.

During our trip to the Post Office, the Post Master Diane gave us a tour of the entire office! The children learned how to buy stamps, where to put mail to be sent out, where to pick up mail, and they even had the opportunity to meet some mail men and women that were busy sorting mail. Some children also chose to dress up and pretend to deliver a package.
