Our class is reading Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown. Flat Stanley is the story of a boy who is flattened by his bulletin board in his sleep. Fortunately, Stanley is fine, but is now completely flat! He soon discovers that being flat has its advantages. He can slide under closed doors and be mailed in envelopes to visit friends who live faraway.
Our class made a "Flat Joe" who is on an airplane right now headed to Washington, D.C. to stay with my friend Joe for the school year. Joe's job requires him to travel A LOT and he has offered to act as Flat Joe's chaperone and take him all over the country. We will be able to follow Flat Joe's adventures through this blog.
I took some pictures of Flat Joe before he left. He enjoyed spending time in our classroom reading a book from the Flat Stanley series on our comfortable bean bag chair. Then he spent some time looking at our wall map and contemplating where he might like to visit. At the post office he wanted a picture in front of the sign and I took one more before I helped him slide into his Overnight Envelope. You can tell he was a little nervous at this point, but he had sweet letters written by the students to accompany him.
Oh and I did laminate him before he left. He said he didn't mind since he was already flat and that he actually preferred it because now he's waterproof and didn't need to pack his raincoat!
