Harrison Elementary School - Second Grade Classes


The Flat Stanley project is being done as a Tech Class project with three 2nd grade classes at Harrison Elementary School in Port Huron, Michigan. In Mrs. Werth’s class, there are 8 girls and 8 boys in our class. She will be taking Flat Stanley for the first exchange. Ms. Weatherspoon has 8 boys and 9 girls and she will do the 2nd exchange and Ms. Chavez has 10 boys and 7 girls and she will do the third exchange and then we will rotate through again.

Our school is in Port Huron, Michigan, the Maritime Capital of the Great Lakes. It is a quiet town that borders Sarnia, Ontario, which is in Canada. Port Huron has an international border crossing marked by the twin spans of the Blue Water Bridge.

We are thrilled to have our new student, Flat Stanley, visiting with you! At our school, he especially likes going to one of his five special classes each day. He loves our music class with Mr. Rambaum and is busy rehearsing for our Christmas concert in December. He is hoping that he will get a part playing one of the musical instruments. Flat Stanley likes going to art class. He likes to make jack-o-lanterns with the help of our art teacher, Mrs. McQuiston. He has a little trouble holding the crayons and should work on developing his upper body strength! Flat Stanley seems to be enjoy having fun at Harrison School and I’m sure he will enjoy visiting yours. If he is allergic to anything, we haven’t noticed yet—hopefully you will be watching for that.

Hi Mrs. Werth's class. We are having a great time with Flat Stanley. He got to draw a picture of 3 places he visited with a prurple crayon. We took Stanley to the cafeteria and he doesn't seem to be allergic to anything. Stanley also came to our Harvest Festival and played some games. How is Stanley doing in your class? What is he learning?

Flat Stanley has been a very good guest. He was able to go home overnight with all of the students--we had to make him a twin brother to give everyone a chance before we mailed him to Akron Elementary in New York. He was lots of fun. We borrowed your idea and had the students make their own that they can take home and treat as a special guest and then use for writing material in their journals--great idea. I hope your Flat Stanley has a nice Christmas!

Flat Stanley must have really learned a lot of history while visiting your beautiful historic community. Unfortunately Flat Stanley only got to be with us at Moshannon Valley in Central PA for 2 short weeks so we didn't add much to your book. We made sure Stanley had fun and was treated properly though!
