Students will describe the different settings that appear in The Jolly Postman. Bring in different kinds of mail and let the students sort it by type – letters, postcards, magazines, ads. Use our letter writing resources to help your students with organizing their letters.Ĭreate a bar graph showing the different kinds of mail people get. (For example, Miss Cinderella, 1234 Glass Slipper Way, Princeville, New York 12345.) You could even have students deliver the letters to classmates, who would then pose as the character and answer the questions. Then, have students address the envelopes.
Students can ask specific questions that they would like the know the answers to. Have students write a letter to a fairy tale character in the book.
Compile all of the recipes, send the cookbook home, and arrange for a big classroom feast. Then, have the children name the recipe after a favorite fairy tale character (for example, Cinderella Cupcakes). Send a letter home to parents asking them to help their child pick a favorite treat recipe. Students can draw a picture on each side of the diagram and fill the rest of the space with words that describe each character.ĭiscuss the following questions with your class after reading The Jolly Postman: What are some reasons to write letters? What type of letter would you write if someone gave you a gift? What type would you write if you broke a friend's toy? What type would you write if you were having a party? Do you like to get mail? Use a Venn diagram to compare and contrast two of the fairy tale characters.
