Flat Stanley Project Parent Letter
The Flat Stanley Project is so much fun! After reading stories about Flat Stanley, a little boy who was flattened by a bulletin board and who travels all around the world, students will create their own Flat Stanley in class. They will then choose a relative or family friend to send their Flat Stanley to. The relative or family friend then takes pictures of Flat Stanley in different places and send them back with post cards from where he visited. In class, we then plot on a map all of the places

The Goals of the Congress of Vienna - Map Analysis WORKSHEET
Some have argued that Metternich was an idealist, seeking to establish peace in Europe by simply turning the clock back to the pre-French Revolutionary and Napoleonic era. The three main goals of a restoration of legitimacy, restoring the balance of power, and compensation for the victors may be difficult concepts for students to understand.

I did a soil project with my students. The three types of soil (sand, humus, and clay) are taught in third grade.

We received a tremendous amount of samples from around our country including sand from the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. We then mapped it on a bulletin board to show where each sample came from. We classified the samples into the three types of soils. We also us
