The Project begins ...

We finished reading Flat Stanley by: Jeff Brown last week and students are beginning to write the their Flat Stanley letters and make their own Flat Stanleys.

A Sample Letter ...
_________________________________________________________________
Dear Grandma,

We just read Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown. This story is about a boy named Stanley who had a bulletin board fall on him. The bulletin board made him flat. Stanley learns to like being flat. He travels across the country in an envelope to visit his friend. He also stops the sneak thieves from stealing the most valuable painting at the museum and he gets to be a kite, but he gets tangled in a tree. His brother, Arthur has an idea to make him normal again and blows up Stanley up with a bicycle pump.

Please keep my Flat Stanley for a week or more and then send him back with a letter etc. about his adventure ....
