Lesson Plans for Teachers

Dear Teachers,

Following are lesson plans and activities for grades 2-5 that can be used as a one day activity or as a Post Office thematic unit. Our lesson plans cover language arts/literacy skills, geography, reading comprehension, art, and social studies. In addition, it may be a great service project for the whole school or individual students. A student reaching out through postcards to kids with a life threatening illness is an easy way to touch the lives of children who are fighting to survive!  New lesson plans will be posted throughout the school year so check the site frequently.

Lesson Plan 2: Greetings from...

Lesson Plan 3: Journey of a postcard
