During this time of extended distance learning, Bradford-Tioga Head Start, Inc. teachers Mrs. Ambruch and Mrs. Post decided to provide each student in their class with a “flat teacher.” The “flat teacher” activity is based on the Adventures of Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown where a flattened child goes on adventures around the world.
The idea of this unique adventure started with each teacher providing their students with a “flat teacher” cut-out and a list of activities and/or adventures that could include the “flat teacher”; activities such as outside play, read a story to them, draw a picture with them or journal with them. The students were asked to have someone take a photo and then to share that photo of themselves with their classmates. Many students submitted photos of the fun adventures they took!
