New Year, New School

I have changed schools this year which has definite positives and negatives. There are certainly comforts to being in the same place with familiar faces and routines but it is nice to have fresh ideas and opportunities as well. The most positive change, by far, is that I don't have to commute out of the city anymore. The most negative change? The difference in technology available at the new school, which is surprising. Bottom line - no computers (or internet) and a chalkboard. I feel like I am back in the 80's when I was in grade 3!

This year we are starting the year with the Flat Stanley Project (www.flatstanley.com). It is AWESOME! The kids love it, I love it and we are all so excited! I have about ten schools lined up to mail to all over the world! I hope it works out and we get all our Stanleys back.
So far we have made our Stanleys, created journals to mail along with them and written a letter to send along with Stanley. We have a display with a world map where we will mark all the places our Stanleys go and the display the things they come back with. Check back for our progress!
