Kindergarten Pretend and Learn Lesson

Unit: Neighborhood Pretend and Learn Theme: Post Office

Implementing the Pretend and Learn Lesson in the Kindergarten Classroom Center Introduction

1. Set up the center by using the printable materials and example pictures found below. 2. Introduce the center by brainstorming vocabulary related to a post office. The teacher might want to

create an anchor chart of these words. 3. Use the CLI strategy “Statues” to have the students create a statue for each vocabulary term. 4. Discuss what happens in a post office, who works there, who visits, tools/materials they use, things

they do there, etc. 5. Tour the center and model how to use the center with the help of a few students. 6. Discuss “What to Do” and “What Not to Do” in the center.

Center Participation and Organization 1. Students can write letters or postcards to send to their friends. 2. Students can deliver their messages to their friends. 3. Students can practice using money to pay for their letters and packages. 4. When it is time to clean up students will put things back where the teacher had them set-up.
