Going To A Post Office: Language & Pragmatic Skills!! (AND GIVEAWAY!)

For those that have been loving my Going To A Grocery Store Pack and Going To A Restaurant Pack have been requesting MORE MORE MORE!  Well, today is your lucky day!  The next edition is available!!!

In this MASSIVE pack:
-Sorting Items:  Students can sort the pictures into whether or not they will find them in a post office.

-Who Would Say It?:  Students can sort sayings into categories (customer or post office clerk).

-Post Office Vocabulary Matching:  Cards contain a vocabulary word with its definition.  You can use these to teach vocabulary and for memory matching games to practice.  A worksheet is provided to review.

-Following Directions: Print and laminate the mailbox and place it in the center.  Print and laminate the post office items and place them next to or around the mailbox mat.  Read the direction cards to your students and let them use the mat and items to complete them.

-Scenario Cards:  Students can practice expressing what they would do if they are in the situations provided.  A board game is provided to use as a reinforcer/motivator.

-Write Your Own Postcard:  Several postcards are provided with images.  Students can write a postcard to a friend/relative/pen pal as if they visited the places shown on the postcards.  This is a great time to be creative and act out what they would do and say!  You can also give each student a different postcard with a different image.  Students can read their responses to the group and let their peers try to guess where they went.

-The Mail Carrier Has:  This activity can be used as a file folder activity.  Print and glue onto a file folder the male and female mail carriers.  For each item card, students can use the sentence strips provided to express which mail carrier has the item.  This activity can also be used to work on “who” questions, pronouns, and possessives.

-How To Write A Letter & Envelope: Visuals are provided on how to write a letter and address an envelope.

-Post Office Scavenger Hunt: If you are fortunate enough to go on a field trip to a post office, use this worksheet to have students know what to look for.  They can check off all the different items they locate!  Who can locate more??


-Parent letter: Feel free to send this letter home to let parents know about your post office theme.  This will help with carryover of skills.
