We often get pictures, postcards, photo albums, pencils, or stickers. He sits up front and shows us his Flat Stanley, reads the letter, and shows any souveniors. When a Flat Stanley returns, the student gets to be the teacher. I also include my own little letter in the envelope to add a few more details and of course when to have Flat Stanley back to us and where to send him. They then will copy the letter inserting the proper names. We then write a letter as a class as to what we want to say to our friends and relatives. They trace a body onto oak tag and then decorate it with crayons, markers, yarn, scrap paper, etc. I usually call them "Flat Carrie" or whatever their name is. Then, we discuss the project as a class and make our Flat Stanleys. I also explain the project in the letter.
Right after we start the book, I send a note and envelope home asking parents to write an address of a friend or relative who lives outside our area and would be willing to participate in our project.
