Flat Stanley Visits La Verne, California


Our first Flat Stanley made it back to Wakefield today! This Flat Stanley traveled to La Verne, California. Why did this Flat Stanley go to La Verne? He went to visit Mrs. Davis' second grade class. Mrs. Davis is Ms. V's auntie!

Mrs. Davis' class invited Flat Stanley to join them on Pumpkin Day. Pumpkin Day is a fun filled day that is all about pumpkins!!! Flat Stanley and the kids measured and weighed pumpkins. They also scooped out the inside of the pumpkins and counted the seeds inside of their pumpkins. What a sticky adventure!!! To commemorate his trip, Flat Stanley received a special Halloween pumpkin button to wear on his shirt. How special.

Flat Stanley enjoyed his trip to Southern California. He can't wait to travel down that way again. many thanks to Mrs. Davis and her students for hosting our flat friend.

Flat Stanley Tours the World!


Our class read and enjoyed reading Flat Stanley. Flat Stanley is a funny story about a boy who is flattened by his bulletin board. He has many adventures being flat. On one of his adventures he goes to visit a friend in an envelope. He can travel in an envelope because he is flat. Many schools around the world started sending out copies of Flat Stanley in an effort to teach letter writing, map, math and language art skills. We in Room 38 jumped at the chance to do this as well. Last month we sent out over 30 Flat Stanley's to many locations in the United States as well as to many places outside of the U.S.

As our Flat Stanley's return, we will be posting about their travels.

Stay tuned...
