Field Trip to the Post Office

Rick gave us a tour of the post office
<
Mailing Valentines to our parents.
Postmarking the stamp
Sorting the mail

We have been learning about mail in preschool. The children have been making letters for their friends in the writing center and mailing them in the post office set up in the dramatic play center. We have been busy making Valentines for our parents. On Thursday, we went to the Newell Post Office and got the chance to be postal workers. The children mailed their Valentines, postmarked the stamp and sorted the letters so they would be mailed to their parents. Rick showed us how he weighs packages and the big carts the mail comes in. We thank Rick for taking time to show us around and for letting the children have this hands on experience.
