Madison's class read a book called "Flat Stanley" and the project is to mail Flat Stanley all over the world and to document his adventure.
this is the letter from her teacher:
Dear Friend,
Our class just finished reading a really neat book called "Flat Stanley" by Jeff Brown. It is the story of a boy named Stanley Lambchop who found himself to be flat as a pancake after a bulletin board fell on him in his sleep. At first he and his family were alarmed at the situation, but soon Stanley discovered some advantages to his "flatness".
One advantage was that Stanley was able to go and visit his friend in California by climbing into an envelope and being dropped in a mailbox! That is the part of the story that you are helping us to re-inact.
Enclosed you will find a Flat Stanley. We ask that you keep Stanley with you for a week or so, and help him to have some adventures during his visit. When Stanley is ready to come home, would you put him in an envelope (along with a picture or two of your adventure or anything else you would like to send that would be of interest to our class and would help us learn about the places that Stanley is visiting.)
We hope you and Stanley have a great time! Thanks for having him! We can't wait to learn about his adventures!
We are taking Flat Stanley with us to DisneyWorld next week!
I also asked my fellow osp'ers (photography forum) to help me out with this. So far we have had quite a few volunteers to host Stanley. We are sending him to TX, AL, WA, HI, GA, MI, TN, CO, MO, Japan, and he is making a special delivery of Donated School Supplies to Iraq!
