More Flat Stanley Pictures!

Here are some more little ones excited to hear how Flat Stanley enjoyed his travels! Thank you to everyone who helped our second graders learn about different places, writing letters, and mapping skills.

 

Flat Stanley flies home...

Second graders listened to Ms. Sloggett read the original Flat Stanley book a few months ago, then students created their own Flat Stanleys and sent them to people all around Oklahoma, the United States, and some even overseas! They are flying home and being received by the children who sent them out. Here are a few kids who received their Flat Stanleys back.

Stanleys returned from Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, Florida, Colorado, North Dakota, South Carolina, Taiwan, and Italy! Students are really excited to receive postcards, letters, photos, and maps from their Flat Stanleys' travels.

Photo album from Virginia, postcard from the Vatican in Rome, Italy, and envelope of candy from Taiwan!

Some kids even received gifts from the person who showed their Flat Stanleys around. Lots of pictures have been received from classrooms who "adopted" Flat Stanleys, as well as pictures from famous landmarks here in the United States and overseas. We'll keep posting Flat Stanley pictures as we get them!

Tammi Sauer comes to visit!

Central Oak Elementary Library hosted auther, Tammi Sauer, on November 9th. She did four programs for our students and signed autographs in her books that students purchased.

 She taught the kids songs and had students participate in several different skits and performances during her presentations. Ms. Sloggett even played the part of Oprah in one of the skits!

Students were encouraged to dress in "cowboy gear" and many took the opportunity to do so.

 

 

Mr. Larry Miller, a CO Alumni purchased a copy of every one of Mrs. Sauer's books for the elementary library. Here he is with the purchased books and Mrs. Sauer:

 

Thank you so much Mr. Miller, for the wonderful new books!

 

Thank you very much to Tammi Sauer for doing such a wonderful job teaching our students about her job, sharing her job, and books with our students.

 

The library cannot keep her books on the shelves in the library since Mrs. Sauer's visit! The students check them out just minutes after someone else has returned them. That is a testament to having an author visit a school. Not only do students get exposed to books by the author, but they get to actually see how authors do their job. Mrs. Sauer shared with the students how she comes up with ideas for her books, how she writes them, and then how she gets them published. We are all looking forward to her new book, Nuggett & Fang, which comes out very soon. Look for that book to "float" into the library soon (It is about a shark!).
