Our class read the book Flat Stanley: The Original Adventure by Jeff Brown. In the book, Stanley gets crushed by a bulletin board. He's fine, but now he's flat! Luckily for us, that means he can be folded into an envelope and sent on adventures anywhere in the world!
That leads us into a fun geography project with him! Students sent out a Stanley to anyone they knew around the city, country, or world for an adventure. OR they took him with them on their own adventures. THEN the students, friends, and family members record Stanley's trips through photographs and/or postcards. They then send Flat Stanley back with pictures accompanied by a short description of his adventure(s). We will be plotting his whereabouts and decorating our bulletin board with all of the pictures and postcards we receive throughout the entire year.
