4-H Flat Stanley Pen Pal Project is a literacy and communication project for youth in grades K-3 and involves Extension 4-H programs in Langlade, Lincoln, Manitowoc, Waupaca and Wood counties. The project is based on the book, Flat Stanley, by Jeff Brown. In the book, an enormous bulletin board falls on Stanley Lambchop and it makes him flat, flat as a pancake. There are many advantages to being flat, and one of them is the ability to travel inexpensively in an envelope.
In the project, youth make a paper Flat Stanley or Flat Stella and start a journal with him/her for a few days. The Flat Stanley/Stella is then sent off to another 4-H youth where he/she is treated as a guest for a few more days and the journal is completed. Flat Stanley/Stella and the journal are then returned to the original sender. We think this will be a great way for our younger 4-H members to meet a 4-H member from another county and make a new friend, and it will be a lot of fun!
We will be reading the first three chapters of the Flat Stanley book and introducing the program via Zoom on Wednesday, April 15 at 6:00 pm. Zoom connection information is listed below.
