2. Email
3. Facebook
4. LinkedIn
5. Twitter etc.

But do you know how they communicated way back, when grandma and grandpa were children?

To finish off this lesson make a name train. This activity will focus on the following skills depending on which grade you are using this activity:

1. Cutting skills
2. Planning skills
3. Ability to write their name
4. Spacial awareness
5. Let the older kids tell a story about where this postal name train has been.

Here is the postal name trains my class made today. Pretty impressed with them
