Pembroke Meadows Elementary School - Ms. Cawthorn/Ms. Gile's 3rd Grade Class

Our Flat Stanley is very excited about traveling to the many different schools in the country. We are 3rd graders at Pembroke Meadows Elementary School and our school mascot is the panther. Our school is located in Virginia Beach, Virginia. We live and play near the Atlantic Ocean. Our community is also made up of different military families, because there are many military bases in and around Virginia Beach. Our school has roughly 500 students – kindergarten through 5th grade. There are 20 students in our class, (Stanley makes 21), and Mrs. Giles is our teacher. Ms. Cawthon is our computer resource teacher and will be helping us visit your classroom. We are learning many new and exciting things this year. We like to sing while Mrs. Giles plays the guitar. Stanley is a great singer also! Maybe we will sing a song for you when we talk to your class!

Now a little bit about Stanley. Stanley was born in California but moved to Virginia Beach when he was small. He loves it here with the warm climate, the beaches, the museums, the amusement parks, and all the other fun activities there are here, but most of all he loves his school and his 3rd grade teacher. He is an excellent student, although he can be mischievous at times, and he adores reading! His favorite foods are pizza, of course, shrimp- lots of that around here, and Krispy Kreme Donuts! But please ask your mom not to fix broccoli or pie for him while he is visiting- he hates those! He’s also afraid of scary movies and has a fear of bulletin boards but he does love camping, roller skating, and playing with his friends. He’s also a very good soccer player and loves to watch all kinds of sports, like the Tides baseball team that plays here at Harbor Park. He has a pet hermit crab and some fish that he takes very good care of. Right now Stanley is packing getting ready for his trip. We are going to miss Stanley, but we know that he is in good hands with you. Have fun and we’ll be seeing you soon!
