- View/print the Flat Stanley Letter
Dear Parents,
We are currently learning many new map skills in class. Among them, we are learning how to locate our state, our country and other countries on maps and globes. Now we would like your help!
We are reading “Flat Stanley” by Jeff Brown. In the story, a young boy gets flattened by a bulletin board (without being hurt) and is able to travel the world in an envelope. We are making our own “flat travelers” that will also travel the world. We’re asking that you provide the name and address of two relatives and/or close friend that lives in another state, and one that lives in another country, so your child may send his or her “flat traveler” to them. The recipient will be asked to return the traveler along with either a picture of a landmark in their area, or a very small souvenir. When the travelers return to our school, we will plot the traveler’s whereabouts on our map/globe and share the information received with each other. It will be a tremendous learning experience for you child. We are very excited about it!!
Please mail and send these envelopes to your chosen relatives before Friday. Included in the envelope is the “flat travelers” and a letter to them with instruction on what to do and where to send him back.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to let me know.
As always, we appreciate your support of our learning and activities!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Hoy
