February's Community field trip led us to the Post Office. After learning how to write a friendly letter, students set off down State St. to learn the processes involved in sending correspondence through the postal service. Students were amazed at how much work goes in to mail just 1 letter. The highlight of the tip for sure was trying out the scale - how many pounds do you think our class weighs collectively? This provided a great extension of math learning as we had just finished investigating length and weight when learning about penguins!
