February 17th - 19th, 2026: Post Office

Happy Friday, Firefly Families!

This week we focused on the U.S. Postal Service. We learned the process of how a letter is mailed & delivered, what you need to mail a letter (address, stamp, return address) practiced learning our own addresses, and made mailboxes for our classroom and spent the week writing each other postcards and letters from our writing center. We also created a post office in our reading arch and took turns being the mail carrier and delivering mail. We also learned about Lunar/Chinese New Year and made special red lanterns to celebrate. We read the books Bringing in the New YearIt Came in the MailDelivering Your MailMail Truck's Busy Day, and The Giant Hug. Our Handwriting Without Tears letter of the week was Y.
