= Check out the Flat Canada Blog here = = = = __Welcome to the FlatCanada Wiki!__ = === We are a grade 2/3 class of 16 students in Sointula, British Columbia. We are going to make Flat Stanleys to help us learn all about our country. We are going to send a Flat Stanley to a class in each province and territory in Canada. ===

=== We hope that each host class will keep Stanley for several weeks and will document his adventures here on this Wiki and on our FlatCanada blog. The classes will use this wiki to share information about our provinces and territories and the blog to post about Stanley's Adventures. On the blog host classes can post pictures of Stanley doing different things with students in their class and tell about everything he is learning about their province/territory. The classes involved can communicate through the blog in order to learn more about where Stanley came from and about the provinces/territories he is visiting. ===

We can't wait to send our Stanleys out on their Canadian Adventures!

= __How Can I Participate?__ = === If you are a Canadian elementary school teacher and would be interested in hosting a Flat Stanly this fall please contact Mrs. Watson through email soingirl@hotmail.com or through Twitter @soingirl. === === I am looking for one or possibly two classes from each province or territory. The host class would need to be willing to make posts (wiki or blog) of Stanley's adventures and share information about their province/territory through these posts. I would hope that my class and the host classes would ask questions and respond to each others posts and comments. It would be wonderful if the host classes would also be interested in Skyping with my class and the other classes if they wished to. ===
