Flat Lala

Granddaughter Lala's class read the book Flat Stanley, about a boy who has a bulletin board drop on him and it makes him "flat as a pancake." Other than that, Stanley is quite healthy. He finds his new condition fun -- he can fold himself into an envelope and mail himself on vacations.
The class made Flat Students and has mailed them to family and friends all over the country. They are going to learn math (how far did your Flat Student travel?), geography (where did s/he travel?), reading and language skills as well as social studies from the project.
Flat Lala arrived at our house yesterday. She went to work with me today and helped type library cards, make calls to schedule library visits and she rode in the Camaro with the convertible top down. (Of course she wore her safety belt so she wouldn't fly away.)
Tonight Flat Lala received a hand knit skirt (that can be worn as a poncho) and a crocheted lavender beret. She may be one of the best dressed Flat Students going.
The above picture shows Flat Lala reading her bedtime story.
I'm having fun with this project. I hope real Lala enjoys it as much as Grandma does!
By the way, Flat Lala has her own blog. It's http://FlatLala.blogspot.com
