THE

FLAT STANLEY

PROJECT

Our class is involved in a very fun and exciting Geography project based on the book “Flat Stanley” which was written by Jeff Brown.  In the book, Stanley Lambchop is flattened by a falling bulletin board.  One of the advantages to being flat is that his parents can put him in a large envelope and mail him for a visit to his friends in California.

 

In this project, the students make paper Flat Stanleys and mail them to friends, relatives, or famous people.  You have been chosen to be a very special part of our project.  We hope that you will treat Stanley like a guest.  Take him with you when you can and record each of his adventures in his daily journal.  Then, after 4 – 5 days, mail him to someone you know, along with his journal and this letter.  We would appreciate it if you would send us a letter or postcard to let us know how Stanley is doing and where he is.  Each student will keep track of where Stanley has been by marking a map we have on display when we receive your letter or postcard.  You will find our address at the bottom of this letter.  Although it is not necessary, the students also love getting pictures from Stanley.  If you have access to the Internet, you can e-mail us at mhayes1@lincolnschools.org with your letter and pictures.

 

We hope that you will help us with this project by hosting Stanley for a short while, mailing (standard postal service or e-mail) us to let us know about you’re your part of the world, and then sending Stanley and his journal on to someone else.  If your are in possession of Stanley on May 1, we ask that you send him back to our school so that he can be reunited with the person who made him.
