Mrs. Thomas Flat Stanley Project

What is the Flat Stanley Project?

The basic principle of The Flat Stanley Project is to connect students with communities across the world by sending out "flat" visitors, through the mail.

Students can talk about, track and write about their flat character's journey and adventure!  Flat Stanley is an enriching and engaging activity. 

The sender and the recipient already have a mutual friend, Flat Stanley. Writing and learning becomes easier, flows naturally, and tends to be more creative. Flat Stanley is an “authentic” literacy project, in that students are inspired to write of their own passion and excitement about the project, and given the freedom to write about many things through the rubric of the Flat Stanley character.
