Labels for Aunt Rena's Toys

1Every Saturday, Mateo helps his aunt Rena in her toy workshop. Aunt Rena carves wooden toys, such as spinning tops, puzzle boxes and little whales. People order her toys from all over the country, and Mateo helps her get each box ready to mail.

2This Saturday, there were three orders in Aunt Rena's order book. A wooden whale was going to 12 Gull Street, Mobile, Alabama. A puzzle box was going to 305 Prairie Road, Wichita, Kansas. A set of spinning tops was going to 48 Ridge Avenue, Spokane, Washington.

3Aunt Rena showed Mateo how to write a mailing label. "Put the person's name on the first line," she said. "Put the house number and the street on the second line. On the third line, write the city, then a comma, then the state." Then she wrote the first label to show him.
Mr. Leo Owens
12 Gull Street
Mobile, Alabama

4Mateo wrote the next two labels by himself. When he checked them, he saw that one label said Spokane Washington on the third line. He had forgotten the comma! He fixed it right away. Then Aunt Rena taped a label on each box, and they carried the boxes to the post office before it closed.
