Community Helper Notes and Mailbox

Each child makes one mailbox and fills it with notes over a few days. Deliver the notes to school staff or local helpers, or let children trade notes during a community helpers week.

A cover and 4 pages. The directions page lists a brown paper lunch bag, scissors and a glue stick, then 6 steps to glue a mailbox and a flag onto the bag and fold the top into a lid. One page has the Thank You Mail mailbox and its flag with a glue tab. Two note pages hold 6 notes that start Dear firefighter, police officer, mail carrier, nurse, sanitation worker and teacher, each with Thank you for and a From line. The note pages read: Write a thank-you note. Cut it out, fold it in half and mail it in your mailbox.

The cause and effect cards, the hidden objects and I Spy pages and the Who Can Help? problem solving cards have an answer key. The rest are games, crafts, posters and templates.

Yes. The Community Helpers Activity Pack gathers 15 Kindergarten to 2nd grade resources, from the job match and word search to flash cards, a wheel craft and posters, in one PDF.
