Kempsville Elementary School - Mrs. Thorpe's Second Grade Class (Class 1)

Mrs. Thorpe’s second grade class (class #1) is very excited to share Flat Stanley’s adventures with you. Stanley was born and raised in Kempsville Elementary School in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Kempsville’s mascot is the Indian and our school colors are orange and blue. Our community is made up of different military families because there are many military bases in and around Virginia Beach. He has adapted well to being a second grader due to all the great role models who are students in our classroom. Kempsville is one of fifty-six elementary schools in the Virginia Beach school district. We have nearly 500 students in grades kindergarten through fifth grade. Our school also houses a pre-school program for developmentally delayed/handicapped pre-school children. Please visit our web site to learn more about the Kempsville Indians.

Our Stanley is very active and he loves adventure. Not only does Stanley like to play sports such as soccer and baseball, but he also likes to watch sports. One of Stanley’s favorite teams to watch is the Pokemon soccer team! Have you heard of them? On the weekends he likes to fly balloons or ride bikes or jump in leaves; although he has to be careful when he does that! His favorite spot to visit in Virginia Beach is the beach. Stanley is a good artist and painting during art class is his favorite thing to do in school. He has a large appetite and loves to eat pancakes, eggs, French fries, chicken nuggets, waffles, pumpkin pie, and apple pie! Stanley lives with his one brother and his happy parents. He has a dog named Kyle. Watching the Sweet Life of Zach and Cody, Hannah Montana, Twitches and listening to hip hop Disney music is something he also enjoys very much. Stanley is a very useful flat kid. If the door is locked he can get in by sliding under the door and unlocking them. Stanley can also fly up and get a kite out of a tree! Right now Stanley is packing and getting ready for his trip. We are going to miss Stanley, but we know he is in good hands with you. Have fun with our friend!
