Our Field Trip to the Post Office

For the past week or so, our class has been very busy learning how to write friendly letters. We learned the five parts of a friendly letter, and then we got to work writing letters of our very own to friends and family both on-island and far away. We wrote about loose teeth, Christmas, new puppies, new sisters, and our favorite sports!
We had a chance to learn how to get our letters from point A to point B with a trip to the Savannah Post Office. Ms. Yorsy and her team showed us around, and then we had a chance to purchase and paste our own stamps on our letters. After we’d all dropped them into the correct letter box, we got a behind the scenes tour of the post office and learned how our mail gets sorted according to its destination. We even had a chance to “date stamp” our stamps. We said goodbye to our letters a final time, and they are now on their way to South Africa, the United States, Canada, the UK, Australia, and other areas of Grand Cayman. Friends and relatives near and far, be on the lookout for something special coming your way!

Special thanks to Ms. Yorsy and her team at the post office for accomodating this special trip.
