Flat Stanley

Flat Stanley (picture book edition)
If you don't know who Flat Stanley is, I definitely suggest you check him out!  Stanley is the main character in many books all about his adventures after he is flattened by a bulletin board in his bedroom.  He wakes up one morning to find that he is now flat and the books tell all about his adventures as a boy who is flat.

In the chapter book, Stanley's parents fold him up into an envelope and send him off to California to visit a friend.  Now, children all over the world create their own Flat Stanleys and mail them to friends and family.  These family and friends take pictures of the Flat Stanley they receive in all sorts of fun places.
Last week two of my students sent their Flat Stanleys through e-mail to online pals.
This is Bryan's Flat Stanley:
And this is Nia's Flat Stanley:
While we wait to see where these lucky Flat Stanley's got to go, we have been taking pictures around school with the Flat Stanleys they received from our online buds.  Check back next week if you want to see pictures of where our Flat Stanleys ended up.  If you want to learn more about Stanley, check out any of the books above or books from the Flat Stanley Worldwide Adventures series!

If you can come to school and tell me where you would want to take Flat Stanley if someone sent him to you, you will earn one sticker towards a reading reward!
