This book/play is about a young boy named Stanley who is accidentally squished "as flat as a pancake" when a bulletin board falls on him. Stanley is very, very flat but otherwise fine. The story goes on to tell how Stanley discovers some real advantages to being flat. He can slide under doors, go down into sidewalk grates, and even fold himself up small enough to fit into an envelope and be mailed to California (from a city far away in the USA) for an exciting vacation.
Which gave way to the Flat Stanley Project. Which we use as a way to teach our kids about different communities and Geography.
Our pictures of Flat Stanley and his first travels. His first stop was Guam. HIs next stop is Victoria Island BC. Then we are hoping we can get my cousin to host him in Oman.
Below are the pics from Guam. They went hiking along the coast where some of the WWII Japanese hideouts and wreckage were. There is also an American Naval Base on the Island. If you didn't know. Guam is a territory of the US.

Hi, How funny that I find a blog with Guam in it. I'm homeschooling in Guam. We are a USN family. I feel your pain about not being able to discuss your child's achievements. People seem to think it is an indictment on them. It is frustrating.
