The Scholar’s Dream

Looking for some more friends that will help us complete our Flat Stanley project!

HEY FRIENDS!!! I have 10 Flat Stanleys ready to go on an adventure! I’m looking for 1️⃣0️⃣ volunteers to take a Flat Stanley and travel around with it to show us all the things that you get to encounter throughout your day! I will send you an envelope with Flat Stanley and a letter with directions.

We would LOVE to have volunteers in multiple states as we learn about US history and explore all there is to offer outside of VA!

Please let me know if you’re able to help!

Art comes in the form of drawing a picture of the big kids in a tree and tons of crafting! ✍🏼🧵

Play seriously makes the day so much easier when it’s time for learning to happen! The focus that comes from the extra time outside is great.

When learning about biomes, specifically the rainforest today, you have to explore pictures of it, which includes the most hilarious looking and named animals! 😂

LOOKING FOR A SCHOOL THAT COULD USE A LITTLE CALM! ❤️

I’m looking to connect with a school counselor or educator whose school could use a little calming!

We would love to create and provide sensory bottles for scholars who may need a visual, hands-on tool to help them pause, breathe, refocus, and regulate their emotions during the school day. If you are a school counselor or teacher and your school or classroom could use sensory bottles, I’d love to hear from you!

Interested? Send me a message or tag a counselor or teacher who might be interested.

If you know of a school that could benefit from this, please share this post!

Sometimes a small bottle of glitter and movement can give a scholar the few quiet moments they need to reset and try again. ✨

Wayside School Is Falling Down book study, bald eagle sighting that lead to learning, our drill sergeant, and tic tac toe!

Ok, ok, ok…I couldn’t say no to coloring just ONE last egg! 😂

The jar lid exploded off this morning 😳 talk about a scary sound! We researched why and found that the egg shell and vinegar reaction produces carbon dioxide, causing build up of gaseous pressure. We learned that the food coloring has absolutely no effect besides adding color to the egg.💨🫙🥚

What I have learned is simple experiments like this and simple outdoor exploration has been the best science I’ve ever taught!

One Flat Stanley has completed his trip! Thank you so much to the Salvato’s for making this a memorable project! We loved the outfits to suit the environment. We appreciate your participation in our learning!
