| We started off our day with a Scavenger Hunt. I put clues around the school and the students had to answer questions at each stop before they earned a small prize at the end. Scavenger Hunts are such a fun way to practice reading! |

| Flat Stanley reports have started coming in. He visited Buenos Aires, Argentina; Rome, Italy; and Florida so far. In Italy he traveled with a group of priests and brothers to the Vatican. They even made a Flat Stanley dressed like a priest to travel with our Flat Stanley! We have enjoyed letters and photos from each of those places. The recipients have had such fun with Stanley and have sent us very detailed reports of landmarks and sites that Stanley has visited. What a fun way to learn about different countries and states! |
