Flat Stanley Launch
/We recently finished reading the book Flat Stanley about a young boy who becomes flatten when a bulletin board falls on him. In the story Stanley is thrilled to discover that as a flat person he can do interesting things like fly through the air like a kite, and slip into envelopes to be mailed across the country! After finishing the book, students worked in groups of three to design their own flat people. They gave their flat people names and wrote a letter from the perspective of their flat person. Our flat people will be mailed to friends and relatives around the world. Our Flat Stanley hosts will send us digital photos of their adventures and will write us letters back. Through this project we will have an opportunity to learn about geography and other cultures. We will also have a chance to practice our literacy skills as we read and write letters. Currently we have Flat Stanleys on their way to Arizona, Washington DC/Finland, Galapagos Islands/Ecuador, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom. As soon as we receive these Flat Stanleys back, we will send them on to their next location. You can let Ms. Aja know if you have other friends or relatives who would like to host Flat Stanleys. We will continue this project for most of the year so that we can learn about many different places.
