The third graders are going to be starting something new this year: “Flat Stanley!” “Flat Stanley” is a fun way to be pen pals with other children from around the United States or other parts of the world. Our class is going to be writing back and forth with students in an English-speaking school in Morocco. The students in Morocco are in the fifth grade, and we are trying to help gain a global perspective of the world around us. We are going to be learning a little bit more about culture, especially a culture that is vastly different from that of the United States. “Flat Stanley” is not only fun for students, but it is going to help them with their literacy skills. We are very excited to write our first letters and draw our first “Stanley’s” and send them off to Morocco!
