Please forgive me! I wanted to give kids authentic opportunities to write. It works, too, because the irony is, even though you say you're not a fan, it sure helped you create some quality and fun writing in this post.<br />BTW, we&Dale Huberthttp://www.flatstanley.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524921971792027079.post-23841619783686457782011-08-24T20:02:02.306-04:002011-08-24T20:02:02.306-04:00Cute story.

I have been teaching for 32 years and Flat Stanley has been around for a lot of them. It started out as a very creative idea (I remember the early days) but now it seems rather done too much, in my opinion. However, some of the memories I have seen online have been great. FS has been places I can only dream of.jkraus8464https://www.blogger.com/profile/15138306757339514666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524921971792027079.post-10879942846415598302011-08-24T19:30:22.291-04:002011-08-24T19:30:22.291-04:00Sherry, You have the right attitude; kids are impo...Sherry, You have the right attitude; kids are important, not FS. He's nice as a tool to remind kids what they did for that dreaded "what I did on summer vacation" essay. But, other than that.

The kids take him home for a week and take pictures of their week with him and I put together a slideshow movie of his adventures at the end of the year.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08353696433987975754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524921971792027079.post-55495798546800416542011-08-24T14:00:44.963-04:002011-08-24T14:00:44.963-04:00Sometimes Flat Stanley project can be a bit of a t...Sometimes Flat Stanley project can be a bit of a tiresome for parents, I agree.

The concept sounded good at the beginning but then FS slept in a folder until a week before the report was due. Except for my when my granddaughter brought him home. Her aunt (my oldest daughter)made FS HER project for the summer and he went everywhere!She's now married with 3 children of her own and I imagine that her kids FSs will do a lot joanne leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00433088239412080529noreply@blogger.com
