We are a homeschool family located in Lexington, SC. Our younger children just read the book Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown. In this funny story a boy named Stanley Lambchop is flattened by a bulletin board. He doesn’t get hurt but the doctor measures him at four feet tall, a foot wide and a half an inch thick! Stanley has many adventures. He gets mailed to California, flies like a kite and even pretends to be a painting to catch sneak thieves. In the end his brother inflates him back to normal with a bicycle pump.
We will use Flat Stanley to learn about writing, geography, language and math. If you are reading this blog, then you have received a Flat Stanley! Please take him somewhere in your town and write to our school telling us about where you take him. If you have any pictures of Flat Stanley on his trip or postcards to share, please mail them along with your letter. We have created this blog to record your letters and pictures of Stanley's travels. You can check in from time to time to see where Stanley is and how we are using him in our studies.
If you do not wish to mail him any further, please send him back to our school so we can add him to our bulletin board display.
Thank you for your participation!
The Leitner Family
