Dr. Berenson's Kindergarten Adventure

 

  • This year, one of my goals is to help my kindergarten children begin to develop geographical awareness. My plan involves the book Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown (Harper Collins, 1964) and the help of our friends and families.

  • Flat Stanley is about a young boy who is flattened, but is not hurt, by a falling bookcase. His parents are assured by doctors that he is healthy, just flat. They then decide that to make the most out of a difficult situation, they can let Stanley have adventures by folding him into envelopes and allowing him to travel and see the world.

  • Each child in the class received a "Flat Stanley". Our class sent Flat Stanley around the world. We were surprised where he landed! Would you like to see where he went? Click on the continents listed below.
