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
