Mail!

After much waiting and wondering, a very exciting thing happened!
WE GOT MAIL!
The Seahorse class wrote letters to us!  Yay!
Each Bunny received a letter and a beautiful butterfly made by their Seahorse pen pal.
This was a big day.  The smiles on the children's faces were priceless!

These activities about mail were so fun primarily because they were completely driven by the interests of the children.  I certainly had not made elaborate lesson plans about the mail, but as soon as I saw how interested the children were in mail, I jumped on it.  This is the beauty of a school like ours where teachers have plenty of time and materials to let children guide their own learning.
