Preschool Update

My turn to teach preschool!!  Our theme was careers this time.  For our field trip we went to the Postal History Foundation:  http://www.postalhistoryfoundation.org/.  The kids had a great time!  They started by reading the kids an adorable book about a postal worker trying to deliver mail to a farm where the cow tried to scare the worker.  It was super silly...I wish I could remember the name of it.

Then they had a bunch of activities/crafts set up for the kids all to do with stamps.  I never would have guessed how much fun the kids could have picking and sorting through thousands of stamps. There were some really neat ones!  

Then to end things they gave the kids a tour of a little postal room that was from one of the foundational postal offices here in AZ a long long time ago.  The highlight was when they got to put on one of the post officer's hats and carry their very heavy satchel!
