Lucy's Flat Stanley having fun in Kentucky!

While watching the video below, you can see Flat Stanley at the fence looking at the race track.
Flat Stanley was surprised by all the beautiful rock walls in Lexington, the walls are called “Slave Walls”. Originally build by Irish Immigrant stone masons. The stonemasons passed their crafts on to the black slaves and that is how they got the name slave walls.

Colin's Flat Stanley in Florida!

Colin's Great Auntie Cecilia Finamore had a great time taking Flat Stanley all around the nice places in Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral, Florida.  Cape Canaveral is where we launch all of our rockets into space! They went to Port Canaveral, where all the big cruise ships go to take people on their vacations, mostly to the Caribbean islands.  They went to Cocoa Beach Pier, home of the east coast's biggest surfing championship! And, speaking of surfing, they went to Ron Jon's surf shop, which is the largest surfing shop in the country--and maybe even the world! Flat Stanley send stickers for everyone! Poor Stanley tried surfing, but he fell off, and had to get taped up. 
Many thanks, Auntie Ceil!

Sawyer's Flat Stanley in Massachusetts!

Flat Stanley arrived safely in Plymouth, Massachusetts at Room-2-Grow Preschool just in time for "S" week. The children enjoyed meeting Flat Stanley and reading the Flat Stanley Book. It was awesome to have Sawyer's Stanley be our Super Star Student during "S"week.
The children even tried to imagine what it might feel like to suddenly be flat as a pancake like Stanley.  Attached you will find a picture of that as well as of the Flat Stanley Book we read and class pictures of our students.


We thought it would be fun for Flat Stanley to see some of Plymouth's historic sites, so we took him on a scenic tour of America's Hometown. We made sure Stanley saw Plymouth Rock, Plimoth Plantation, The Plymouth Museum, and several more historic locations in our community.  Even though it was quite chilly we made sure Stanley had a short visit to our seashore.









Thank you so much for sharing Flat Stanley with us at Room-2-Grow and a special thank you to Sawyer, too. We really enjoyed his visit and it was a special way to make "S" week Stupendous!
Sincerely,

Miss Carol & the R-2-G Students

Sawyer's Flat Stanley in Hollywood, California!!

We hope you and your class are having a wonderful week!  We just wanted to let you know that Sawyer's Flat Stanley just had a nice visit in Hollywood California!  While in Hollywood, Flat Stanley stayed with The Bailey Family – Jon (Dad), Sheryl (Mom), Jacob (Son, Age 8) and Shaylyn (Daughter, Age 4).  As soon as Flat Stanley arrived, Shaylyn brought him out to the pool!  (Pic attached)  It was 80 degrees when Flat Stanley arrived and he was very excited to feel the sunshine and sit by the pool in March!  He played with the family and got to see many fun sights like the Hollywood Sign, the Walk of Stars and Mann’s Chinese Theater as he drove around the city.
