We are currently learning about continents & other map skills in class. Among them, we are learning how to locate our province, our country & other countries on maps & globes. The character Flat Stanley has inspired our current project. Click on the picture above to learn more!
Division 8 students have created their very own Flat Stanleys that are ready for adventure! There are a couple different ways they can travel…
Take Flat Stanley on Your Family Vacation
Take pictures of your family with your Flat Stanley at landmarks & recognizable locations during your travels & if you are able to purchase a postcard &/or small souvenir it is definitely welcome! When you return email the photos to Miss Watt @ stephanie.watt@sd41.bc.ca & she’ll share them with the class!
Mail Flat Stanley Around the World
Your Flat Stanley can be sent to a friend or relative that lives in another province, or one that lives in another country! We can mail our Flat Stanleys from school, so if you provide the name and address, Miss Watt will take care of the postage. Division 8 has a letter that is sent along to explain the activity to friends or family members & one for them to return to our class. The recipient will be asked to return the traveller after a week or so with pictures of the Flat Stanley somewhere in their area and a postcard or artifact/souvenir if they are able. They may also email me the photos @ stephanie.watt@sd41.bc.ca.
When the Flat Stanleys return to school, we will plot their whereabouts on our map & share the information received with each other.
Our Flat Stanley project will continue throughout the year & we are all very excited about what we’ll learn about our world. Our own travels; letters, pictures & artifacts from our friends & family; & lastly through the research we do in the classroom, we will learn about the different places our Flat Selves travel to.

Nelson students participated in our annual Terry Fox Run last Friday.
After a late start to the year & only a few days of fundraising, bringing in Toonies for Terry & collecting pledges, we raised $1097 for the Terry Fox Foundation!! Incredible!! Our fundraising in the last couple years has been:
2011 ~ $502
2012 ~ $642
2013 ~ $1430.
We easily surpassed this year’s goal of $800! I’m so proud of all of your hard work!

Congrats to Angie & Amanda for correctly guessing the our 4th Where Am I? of the summer! Check out the Where Am I? page to see the winning answer & the 2nd best university in British Columbia. 😉 haha
The inspiration for our 5th clue comes from my vacation plans for the last couple weeks in August. It’ll be our final Where Am I? for the summer as I won’t have access to a computer during the trip. This city is brimming with history, which I love, & has a couple of friends of mine who moved there whom I love as well! Can’t wait to see them & the sites of this beautiful city & can’t wait to sharing my adventures with you in September!
Good luck with
this week’s question!
