Our Flat Children Project

As part of homeschooling, the children are involved in a very fun and exciting Geography project based on the book "Flat Stanley" written by Jeff Brown. In the book Flat Stanley is flattened by a falling bulletin board. One of the many advantages is that Flat Stanley can now visit his friends by traveling in an envelope. For this project, our children made themselves flat using paper and a photo. Now, we are mailing/emailing each Flat Child to a different family. If you receive one of our Flat Children and do not have time for him/her to visit with you we completely understand. Just send him/her back to us. If you choose to host our Flat Child, we hope that you will treat him/her like a guest. Take him/her with you when you can and record the adventures on the journal page. You may keep our Flat Child from 2-7 days. We would appreciate it if you would mail/email our Flat Children back to us. When we receive the Flat Children back, Sierra and Andrew will mark where their Flat Child visited on the map. Although it is not necessary, the children would love getting pictures and postcards from you showing where their Flat Child visited. However, all that we need you to do is fill out the journal page, and send us the Flat Child back. Not only will Sierra, and Andrew learn about Geography but they will get to hear what life is like at your house. I will be postings the Flat Children's travels on this blog with the help of Sierra and Andrew. When the Flat Children are finished visiting family and friends we are going to send them around the US and to other countries. Watch the blog to see where our Flat Children are traveling. Thanks in advance for helping us and have fun with our Flat Children. I will assure you that our Flat Children will be on their best behavior. There will be no screaming from Flat Hannah, no disobeying from Flat Andrew, and no endless chatter from Flat Sierra. If you have any questions, please give us a call.

As you read Flat Sierra's and Flat Andrew's letter, keep in mind that they wrote them. I typed Andrew's letter as he spoke.
