Happy Travels with Flat Stanley and Stella!
As a part of our Reading, Writing, Social Studies, and Mathematics programs, the students and I have read a funny book called Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown. The book is about a young boy named Stanley who is accidentally squished "as flat as a pancake" when a bulletin board falls on him while he is asleep. Stanley is very, very flat but otherwise fine. Stanley's family did not have enough money to send him on a train or plane to visit a friend in California, so they decided to send him through the mail. The story goes on to tell how Stanley discovers some real advantages of being flat. Our class has decided that we would like to do the same with our Flat Stanleys' and Stellas'. We are hoping our Stanleys' and Stellas' visit cities all over America and the World!
On the address paper sent home, please provide at least on address of a friend or relative who is willing to participate. The additional addresses are to share with other students who may not have an address to mail their Stanley or Stella to.
