Track your class Flat Stanley travels.

AboutThis Year, the third grade students read the story Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown. The story is about a boy who is flattened by a bulletin board and is then able to go on adventures around the world in an envelope. As part of their studies of communities and map skills, the students created flat paper dolls of themselves and sent them to friends or relatives in hopes of going on their own adventures. The host family will was asked to take the Flat Student to see the sights of their town. This blog shows the adventures they have taken.

Flat Elizabeth in Charlotte

We have Flat Elizabeth. She has been with us for about a week and a half. I plan to mail her to Charlotte, North Carolina later this week. I’ve attached a few pictures from her trip with us.

So far, Flat Elizabeth has:

Celebrated Dia de los Muertos with us! We are a hispanic family and we LOVE to celebrate. We went to see different ofrendas of different families (or altars…think like the movie Coco!) and went out to a fancy Mexican restaurant to celebrate.
My daughter is 11 years old and went to Spain for 8 weeks with her school on an exchange program. Flat Elizabeth came with us to welcome her home. It was VERY exciting!
My best friend’s parents retired. They owned a convenience shop for 38 years. That’s a long time, huh? Flat Elizabeth went to their retirement party and took a picture with the guests of honor.
Our professional soccer team, FC Tulsa, was in the semi-finals. We won 0-1 in extra time and it was our team’s first-ever in a Western Conference Final match. We aren’t a huge soccer family, but we enjoy it. This was a VERY exciting game.

We are sad our time with Flat Elizabeth is coming to an end but we have had a really great time. I hope to send a few more pics before I pass her on.
