Flat Stanley visits Campbell River British Columbia


This was by far one of my funniest assignments!  I have a really large family back in Ontario, I have over 30 first cousins whom I miss dearly, but my heart is really here on the West Coast. 

One of cousins Sheri emailed me along with her daughter Jenna to see if I would be interested in helping the grade 2 students in Guelph Ontario learn about the postal service.  Hence, the mailing of Flat Stanley.

Flat Stanley is a book written by Jeff Brown. "It is about a boy named Stanley who gets flattened by his bulletin board when it falls on him during the night. Stanley has to learn to live as a flat boy.  In some ways, it is a great way to live. He can go down the sewer grate to get his mom's ring, slide under closed doors, fly in the air like a kite and even travel around the country in an envelope. Flat Stanley becomes a hero when he captures robbers in an art museum by pretending to be a picture in an empty frame. "

Rumor has it that Stanley has had his picture taken with Arnold Schwartenegger in California, worked on a computer, has been sightseeing at an army base and even performed CPR!"

Here is Flat Stanley on his visit to Campbell River. It was a foggy day and he wasn't able to see the mountains, but this is how we spent our day. haha. :) 

Jenna, thanks! He's back in the mail on his way to Mrs. Pizzioloa's Grade 2 Class. :) Love you guys and miss you more. xo
