The Electronic Field Trip to the Post Office, KET’s first field trip specifically for the primary grades, follows the mail as it travels from sender’s mailbox to post office to recipient’s mailbox. While helping students see the integral part the U.S. Postal Service plays in our daily lives, it also reinforces the critical importance of communication and the need for strong reading and writing skills. Along the way, students also get to meet the postal carrier, watch mail zip through the sorting machines at the post office, and learn about the different ways mail is delivered to different destinations by many different people.
