I leave for my Christmas Holiday tomorrow morning and I have a traveling companion…his name is ‘Flat Stanley’!
‘Flat Stanley’ is well…really just a laminated piece of construction paper – but to a first grade class in West Virginia ‘Flat Stanley’ is so much more! My best friend from home – Kayla – is finishing her final Masters year in Education and is currently working as a ‘Student-Teacher’ in West Virginia.
Kayla is teaching the kids in her first grade class about different places around the world, and giving them specific social science/geography lessons on the places ‘Flat Stanley’ and I visit! I will be taking pictures throughout England, France, Switzerland, and Italy over the next 2 weeks with ‘Flat Stanley’ – to connect the kids with another part of the world!
Kayla had all the kids write about ‘What they think Flat Stanley is doing right now’ and ‘how did Flat Stanley get to Scotland’ – the boys thought he was playing video games, and the girls thought he was shopping and eating chocolate! They also thought he drove to Scotland!
I’m looking forward to my cultural adventure with ‘Flat Stanley’ and sharing all of my pictures with the first grade students!
