Shew! What a busy week! This was our first full week back since the middle of December. I think by the time we got to Friday, everyone was a little worn out – me included! 😉

This week the community helper we focused on was Mail Carriers! We discussed what mail carriers do, what they drive, how mailboxes come in different shapes and sizes, and we even met a real mail carrier on Tuesday! They were so excited “Mr. Steve” came to talk to us and PreK about being a UPS Driver! Everyone had lots of questions, and comments, for him! If you would like to come speak to our class about being a community helper, or what you do for the community, please let me know!

Each student was also able to pick a teacher from our school to write a letter to this week. Ms. Callen and I helped them write their letters, they signed their name, decorated the letter and the stamp. We talked about where the stamps go on the envelopes. Then, on Thursday and Friday, we were able to walk around the school and deliver the letters they wrote – just like REAL mail carriers! They were also excited when I showed them where the teachers mailboxes are in the school and we were able to put a couple letters in there as well!

This next week, the community helper we will be focusing on is Farmers!

We also spent a couple days doing some fun science experiments, we had Spanish with Mrs. Nugent on Monday, music with Teacher Q on Friday, we were able to get outside this week, and we talked a little bit about Groundhogs Day!

The students have been loving the grocery store we have in our classroom as well! If you have any empty grocery/food boxes you would like to send in, we would love to have them for our grocery store!

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend! I can’t wait to see you all next week!
