Weekly Learning Packs

One-week printable pack · ages 3–5

Community Helpers Week

Five days of the helpers in our neighborhood, the tools they use, mailing a letter, where helpers work, and how children can help too. Children count paper stamps, match six helpers to their tools, compare more and fewer, follow a letter from writing to delivery, sort things from a doctor's office and a post office, build a paper fire truck, and listen for /r/ and /n/.
