The first graders put the final touches on their Flat Stanley project today. We completed a letter and addressed our envelopes to send our Flat people on their way. They went into the mailbox Wednesday morning. The students were given a map of the USA to color in all the states our Flat selves will be visiting. We have nine students going to 8 different states from Oregon to Virginia and in between. Hopefully we'll hear soon from our host families.
We also spent a bit of time on our PETS activity. We compared animals that initially were very similar but by the third pairing they were not so much. Next week, we'll move toward less and less similar animals to be compared. This is a real stretch for the kids and I was very impressed with how well they worked.
Next week we'll steer back to frogs and toads. We'll finish our research and do some summary writing about what we've learned.
