Flat Stanley

Have you mailed out Flat Stanley yet??? :o)

Many of you may have heard of Flat Stanley. The first story was written in 1943. I read the original story to the children.

Many years after this story was created, there was a huge rise in interest in the story. Not only that, there are many different adventures of Flat Stanley that followed this original work. I researched the author, Steve Brown. Unfortunately, he passed away in 2001 at the age of 77.

But, he has left behind a legacy in children's literature that lives on today. There are hundreds of websites featuring Flat Stanley and his adventures.
I am creating my own website too! This blog features our own adventures with Flat Stanley. As letters flow back to our classroom, I will post information they contain. I will keep track of where our letters are coming from and who has written them. It will be interesting to see how many we get back and just how far Stanley can go until May 1, 2010.
