Flat Stanley

We started reading Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown. 

We are waiting for our Flat Stanley's to come back!
 In chapter one we learned that Stanley was FLAT as a pancake....


SO...


We just had to make pancakes. 





What shape is your pancake?

We read If You Give a Pig Pancake...

 and played Jeopardy answering questions about the story. 


We broke up into partners and learned about cause and effect. 


"I'll share the cause and you share the effect."



In Chapter 2, we learned that Flat Stanley flew to California in an envelope by jet. 

So...

We just had to make paper airplanes.  We flew our planes and marked where each one landed.  We used directional vocabulary (next to, close, near, far) to discuss where each plane landed. 







The children were so excited to learn how to fold an airplane.  Check out this website to learn how to make more paper airplanes. 




"Dionisia lost a tooth, Dionisia lost a tooth, smile at us so
we can see, Dionisia lost a tooth" we all sang, when Dionisia's
tooth fell out.
