Flat Stanley Request

Hi Blogland Friends!
I know that I have "met" so many wonderful blog friends from across the country and I have a big request.  Every year, my first graders do a "Flat Stanley Project".  You can read about it here.

Would any of you sweet blog friends be willing to host one?

First I will get your name/address and then I will pair a student up with you. They will write you a letter and send you their Flat Stanley.  You will then have a couple of weeks to take some pictures with the Flat Stanley doing something fun or special where you live.  You will also write a letter back to my student and send the photos and Stanley back.  The students wait excitedly for the mail and love reading about where their Flat Stanley's traveled.  We create a huge bulletin board to document. 

I teach at a Title 1, low income school where most of the students never get to travel farther than their neighborhood. So this ends up being an amazing experience for them to see the country.

If you are interested, please comment below.  Also, please email me at Mandygraham311@yahoo.com with your name and address. 
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU!

If you can get him to me in the next two weeks, I can take him around Colorado Springs & Missoula, MT. I LOVED Flat Stanley as a kid and helped my Mama's school take him to MT a few years ago.

I'd love to help! We are doing the same project in my class right now. It will be interesting for my students to be the ones receiving the Flat Stanley!
