Default Flat Stanley Project

Flat Stanley is a character in a children's book...who is mailed to another part of the country...thus, learning about cities, states, geography, customs, sights, etc. Many many teachers have their students make a Flat Stanley, sometimes as themselves, and then students send them to relatives or friends in other parts of the country. The goal is to learn about that city or state. Pictures are taken with Flat Stanley who is then returned with postcards, pictures, a journal, etc. Creativity is the name of the game here, and it is amazing to see how creative these relatives and friends can be as they help students learn about a new city or state. I don't know where any orange trees are with good looking oranges, but I do hope you'll be sure to take Flat Stanley's picture in a golf cart as well as around The Villages doing some of our fun activities. Since an orange tree was requested, I assume they are going for crops of Florida. You might want to check for more specific information. By the way, you'll have a ball with Flat Stanley. Be sure to post pictures so we can see how he enjoyed his stay.
