As part of our integrated reading, writing, social studies and mathematics program, the students are participating in the Flat Stanley project. The students have read the book called "Flat Stanley" by Jeff Brown. In the book, Stanley is accidentally squished " as flat as a pancake" when the bulletin board falls on him. He becomes very flat, but he is fine. He discovers the advantage of being flat enough to fit into an envelope and being able to travel through the mail. The students sent out Flat Stanleys to various places to help us learn about other places in the United States and the world.
Flat Stanley has returned from Illinois and California with fun tales of adventures and pictures of the sights he has seen. Another Flat Stanley has also returned from the country of Malaysia with pictures of the exotic places he visited there. Another Flat Stanley is on his way to South America and Texas for the holidays. If you have relatives or friends in the continents of Africa, Europe or Australia who would be willing to host Flat Stanley, please let me know.
