Flat Stanley Ideas
Dear Families,
Our
third graders just finished reading the book Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown. In this book, Stanley gets crushed with
a bulletin board. He’s fine, but
now he’s flat! Luckily for us,
that means he can fit into an envelope and be sent anywhere in the world.
That
leads us into our Social Studies Unit, Communities Around the World. The Children are coming home today with
their own Flat Stanley. You are
invited to send Flat Stanley to anyone you know for a little adventure. We would like for you to record that
adventure and send Flat Stanley back to school with a picture and a note by February
28, 2014. We have included a letter you can send to your friend or relative
with instruction on what they can do with Flat Stanley.
If
you have any questions please feel free to contact me at csime@internationalcharterschool.org.
Thanks for helping out!
Ms. Cynthia
Flat Stanley pictures should be taken near a landmark location or a place where the name of the city, state or country appears.
If you would like you or family members may email me the pictures of where Flat Stanley has been

Mom and dad
Brazil and the Unitd States
Sisters and brothers
Two cousins
Ms. Cynthia and Sra. Silvia
Below you will find some resources that have helped our writers in class.

Homework set up
Dear parents and students,
We apologize for so many changes to our homework set up this year. With the new 50/50 schedule we are trying to find what will work best for teachers and students. Thank you for the feedback we have received and all the support you are giving at home. Here is a sample of what the latest version of student homework notebooks looks like. We think this will work for all of us!

Academic Choice
After lots of practice, modeling, reminding and redirecting 2nd graders were able to make some academic choices independently this week! Four different activities were going on all at once and students knew exactly what to do! I'm very proud of my new 2nd graders!
