Flat Stanley Adventures Begin!

We have been learning about continents and other map skills in class. Among them, we are learning how to locate our province, our country and other countries on maps & globes. The character Flat Stanley has inspired our current project. Click on the picture above to learn more!
Division 7 & 8 students have created their very own Flat Stanleys that are ready for adventure! There are a couple different ways they can travel…

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! Students are bringing home 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@burnabyschools.ca

Take Flat Stanley on Your Family Vacation
Take pictures of your family with your Flat Stanley at landmarks and recognizable locations during your travels and if you are able to purchase a postcard &/or small souvenir it is definitely welcome! When you return email the photos to Ms. Watt @ stephanie.watt@burnabyschools.ca

When the Flat Stanleys return to school, we will plot their whereabouts on our map and share the information received with each other.
Our Flat Stanley project will continue throughout the year and we are all very excited about what we’ll learn about our world. Our own travels; letters, pictures and artifacts from our friends & family; and lastly through the research we do in the classroom, we will learn about the different places our Flat Selves travel to.
