Read "Flat Stanley" a story about a boy who wakes up one day completely flat. He suddenly is able to do all sorts of things that he never thought he could. He can slide under doors, cline into an envelope to travel, etc. 4. Class will create their own "Flat Stanley" by coloring and cutting. 5. We'll mix the "Flat Stanley's" together in a bag and every student will draw a Stanley. 6. Pass out hand-out for homework. |
