As of today, my plan is to focus my literacy lesson around the US Postal Service.
I want to incorporate the text The Jolly Postman and utilize what the students have been learning about writing letters. I hope to have the students write letters to each other during class and learn about address labels, return labels, and stamps to send the letters that they have written to each others houses.
There will also be a wrap-up discussion for this lesson once the students have received a letter from a peer at their home address.
Obviously, it's still a plan in progress; but it's more than I had the other day :)

This is a great idea. Remember that your overall assignment is to create a lesson plan for a discussion about a piece of literature. Your extension activity sounds wonderful but be sure your discussion takes some form of center stage in your conceptual planning for your students.
The Post Office is a wonderful place to explore through literature and discussion! I'm excited about seeing your developing plans!
