Flat Mail

Third grade is SO much more interesting now than it was back in the dark age. My daughters class did a Flat Stanley project, and it's been interesting to say the least. If you're not familiar with Flat Stanley, here's a site that explains how these projects work: Flat Stanley Project/


Her flat mail got off to a slow start, but gathered steam quickly. The process is, you mail it out, from there it goes to the next person, and so on... then at the end the packet gets mailed back to the school. After 2 questionable moves, the packet was sent back to the school, and we had to start over again. This time, though, I decided to send/deliver her to each person myself.

She traveled to Chicago IL, Charleston SC, Punta Gorda FL, Cincinnati OH, and Beaumont TX. Then she got to sail from Annapolis to New York City via the Delaware and Chesapeake Canal. No sooner did she return from her sail than she was off to Charlotte NC for the Coca-Cola 600. The jetsetting wasn't supposed to end there, she was supposed to leave for Maine today, but that fell through, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed... she might be heading over to visit with the President later today.

So glad 3rd grade is just about over! I'm pooped!
