Flat Stanley Adventures Begin!

Posted on March 7, 2023 by Ms. Watt | Leave a comment

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 and 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…

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 and 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 to 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 and/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 and family; and lastly through the research we do in the classroom, we will learn about the different places our Flat Selves travel to.

Next week we are jumping for our hearts!
We will be jumping a couple times next week for Jump Rope for Heart 2023! We’ll be skipping for a 40 minute block and participating in many skipping challenges. Everyone’s been working hard on their skipping moves and I’m so excited for all the fun! PLEASE CLICK ON THE HEART PICTURE TO THE LEFT TO DONATE! Nelson has always been incredibly supportive of the Heart and Stroke Foundation and it’s grown in importance after losing our beloved custodian, Mr. Olsen, to a heart attack a few years ago. Ms. Tsakalos has set our fundraising goal at $3, 000. There will be reminders in our planners to wear runners and comfortable, cool clothing for our days of jumping! Don’t forget to bring your water bottle as well! Go Nelson Go!
