Travis Elem Students help Flat Stanley celebrate 50

Book Character, Flat Stanley, turned 50 this year with celebrations and travels provided by our WB Travis students. In keeping with a national emphasis, Mrs. Yosten challenged students to share their Spring Break adventures with individual paper character cutouts colored by our students. Adventures include travel under beds, into yards, to buy the family car, to various zoos; extending their travels to various states including New Mexico and New York and all the way to Japan.  He was treated to sunning with the turtles, playing basketball, a fresh mohawk haircut and a pedicure by our creative students. This week students share their drawings, pictures and written stories in presentations with their peers during their library time and class time. The activities will be extended as students share their adventures with other grades around the school.
Stephany Yosten, Travis library assistant, created the project, energizing it as she read aloud from the many Flat Stanley books available.  The WB Travis halls boast the travels and adventures that our students created during their holiday to be seen by parents and visitors during Parent Conference night and many days of April during National Library Month. More information about the adventures contributed by other students are available at the website. http://www.flatstanleybooks.com
Reading aloud continues to support learning that stimulates and extends our student’s experiences and much needed and practiced skills as our students are challenged by more information.
