The Flat Stanley project was started in 1995 by Dale Hubert, a
grade three schoolteacher in London, Ontario, Canada. It is meant
to facilitate letter-writing by schoolchildren to each other as
they document what Flat Stanley has done with them. Dale Hubert
received the Prime Minister's Award for Teaching Excellence in 2001
for the Flat Stanley Project.
The Flat Stanley Project provides an opportunity for students to
make connections with students of other member schools who've
signed up with the project. Students begin by reading the book and
becoming acquainted with the story. Then they make paper "Flat
Stanleys" (or pictures of the Stanley Lambchop character) and keep
a journal for a few days, documenting the places and activities in
which Flat Stanley is involved. The Flat Stanley and the journal
are mailed to other people who are asked to treat the figure as a
visiting guest and add to his journal, then return them both after
a period of time. Students find it fun to plot Flat Stanley's
travels on maps and share the contents of the journal. Often, a
Flat Stanley returns with a photo or postcard from his visit.
In 2005, more than 6,000 classes from 47 countries took part in
the Flat Stanley Project.
