Dear Friend
In my second grade class we read a book called Flat Stanley. It is about a first grade boy whose bulletin board flattens him one night in his bedroom. At first he is sad, but then he finds all sorts of things that he is able to do when he is flat. One thing he can do is fold himself up in an envelope and mail himself to visit friends and family in faraway places.
In school I made my own Stanley. I am mailing him to friends and family. He is attached to this email. I hope to learn about different places, landmarks and people.
I decided to email you my Stanley and hope you will show him a good time. Maybe you could even take a picture of him next to a local landmark or send back a souvenir or postcard of your area. Each Stanley will be put up on a big map in my classroom and we will track their adventures around the country and world.
After you visit with Stanley, please email or mail him back to me and tell me about your visit. I will then go into class and share his story with my classmates
Thank you for helping to make this a fun learning experience for all the second graders in my class
Sincerely
Cooper Certain
