Flat Stanley
After a month long journey through the mail Flat Stanley came to visit me in Paraguay. Paraguay, where is that? It is in South America. A small land locked country about the same size as California. Paraguay has a population of about seven million inhabitants. They speak two languages here, GuaranĂ and Spanish, so it was a Little bit tough at first, but Flat Stanley managed just fine!
Because Paraguay is in the Southern Hemisphere Flat Stanley arrived at the beginning of the fall, which is actually more like summer. There are still days where the temperature gets to be over 100 degrees and it is usually sunny. Soon the weather will change though. It will be much cooler and rainy, with gray skies like Cleveland, but here there is no snow!
During his trip here Flat Stanley was able to hang out with kids at the community center for their group activities. He got to visit my old host family and play Uno with the kids. He went to school and participated in computer classes. And most importantly he got to hang out at home and drink tereré. Flat Stanley definitely enjoyed his trip to Paraguay, he enjoyed it so much that he just might stay around a bit longer!

Hi Melissa,
Thank you for taking care of Flat Stanley for Kevin. He very much enjoyed the story and pictures! As well as the rest of the third grade did. Sister Kathleen puts your pictures on the smart board for all the students to enjoy. I hope your students understood what Flat Stanley is about. It would be fun to receive a Flat Stanley from Paraguay! Thanks again Melissa, Love ya, Claire and Kevin
