= Flat Stanley's Adventures = = = = We are going to read "Flat Stanley" by Jeff Brown. In the story, a young boy is flattened by a bulletin board (without being hurt) and is able to travel by slipping himself inside an envelope. We will make our own "flat travelers" that will travel around the United States and the world. Friends and family will take our travelers on adventures and return them with descriptions of their adventures, pictures, and small souvenirs. His excursions will be tracked on our calendar page. We will have fun writing stories about our travelers' escapades and locating the visitor sites on maps of the United States and the world. = = = = = = Your parents can join the fun at [|flatstanleybooks.com] where you can meet and play games with Flat Stanley and his friends. Visit [|flatstanley.com] to create your own Flat Stanley, download an app for the iphone, and locate Flat Stanley around the world. = = = = = = Check out this video of Flat Stanley with another class! = media type="youtube" key="VUbkLNwZmxA" height="315" width="420"

Our Flat Travelers are off to find adventures! They left Friday, September 14th, with Aiden Kelley's dad on a mail truck. He talked with them about where their envelopes would go next: truck, train, airplane, boat...It was exciting to think about the adventures Flat Stanley might encounter while traveling!



Today we plotted our destinations in google maps. These destinations include locations in Alabama, Georgia, Chicago, San Diego, Jamaica, Ethiopia, and Germany! We began researching the states and countries that our Flat Travelers will be visiting. We will be finding out such things as the capitals, landmarks, famous people, weather, sports teams, and fun things to do while visiting.

We can hardly wait to hear back from our friends and families!
