This year's project was organized by Nancy Golubic, a first grade teacher in Boardman,
Ohio. We made a Stanley to send to family friends or relatives as an optional
activity. A letter of explanation went home with Stanley of course.
Our Stanleys' Family Trips
Sean's
Flat Stanley visited his cousin, Matthew, in Doylestown, PA.
Stanley really enjoyed his
visit there, riding on a back hoe, climbing a tree, finding a nest, and visiting a
ballet class with Matthew's sister. A highlight of his vacation was going to Kids
Castle Park!
Stanley found a bird's nest!

Adventures of Flat Stanley -
coming soon!
We'll also made Stanleys to mail out to classes
in several different states. Information about ourselves was included along with a
journal. Students in the host classes treated our Stanleys as honored guests, taking
them around with them and recording in the journals. We looked forward to our Stanleys
returning to share their adventures with the class!
Flat Stanleys coming from the other classes
were our guests. Each student had the opportunity to take at least one Stanley
home to visit.
In past years this project has been a highly
motivating way to learn about other parts of the country. It's lots of fun too!
Here are the first of nine Stanleys spending
time with us during the year:

Flat
Stanley is a book by Jeff Brown. One night when Stanley Lambchop is asleep, his big
bulletin board falls on top of him. Stanley isn't hurt, but his family discovers that he
is as flat as a pancake. Stanley has many exciting adventures while he is flat. One of his
best adventures is his trip to California to visit a friend. Mr. Lambchop puts Stanley in
an envelope and mails him to California!
