Where in the World is Flat Stanley?!


Sorry I haven't blogged in a while...I guess you could say I've been a bit "water-blogged." Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck. Anyway, I've been thinking about more cool classroom ideas. When I was in elementary school, we read the book "Flat Stanley." I had to color, cut out, and laminate a "Flat Elizabeth" doll which I mailed to various relatives, friends, businesses, and even politicians around the country and world. These "penpals" brought my Flat Elizabeth doll to famous landmarks and interesting places around their town/city and would mail the doll back to me with a letter and the photos. It's a really great idea because the kids learn about geography, develop writing skills, and get excited about each new letter.
