The Flat Journey Begins!

I'm really excited about our newest school project!  I've been thinking about this before we even started the school year, and we're finally getting everything mailed out.  I've mentioned this before, so I'll just give a brief recap.  Flat Stanley is a project you can do in a school/home setting in which you have a "flat" (a piece of paper...in our case, laminated) person that you've colored that travels to different locations.  For our project, we are sending our flat people...flat Sophie and flat Bethany....to visit different friends and family around the US.  We are studying the United States this year, so I thought this would be a fun activity.  In our package we're including two photo albums, one for each "person", in which the people receiving it will take a picture with the flat people and put it in...along with a brief description of their adventure with the flat people.  After the picture and description are completed, the pieces of the project will be sent to the next person on our list! 
So...tomorrow our journey begins!  I've got our package ready to send and I can't wait to see what going to happen!  As you can see above, the girls are excited, too.  There they are with their flat people...smiles on their faces!  Have a great trip, flat Sophie and flat Bethany! : )
