Mailing Letters

This week, we took the cards we made last week and mailed them to family members.  E had made five cards so we picked 5 people to whom we wanted to send the cards.  

We (I) wrote a note thanks to each person and then E worked on signing his name.  He then stuffed the cards into envelopes. 

I wrote the names and addresses of the people he picked on address labels.  I also wrote return address labels with his name on them.  We worked on placement of the labels and talked about their purpose.  E loved seeing his name on the labels and had fun trying to find his loved ones names as well (practicing those pre reading skills).

Finally, E put a stamp in the corner, sealed the envelope (he loved licking it), and walked them to the mailbox.  We got several calls of appreciation throughout the week and E loved it.
