YAY! Flat Buddy toured Brisbane Australia connecting with classrooms and children with disabilities.
How did Flat Buddy’s Tour come about?
Lesa Grant Feazel, significant Disabilities Teacher requested I escort Flat Buddy round Brisbane taking photos. The aim was to enrich the lives of disabled children at Lafourche Parish School Louisiana USA.
Flat Buddy is inspired by The Flat Stanley literacy Project which celebrates its 50th birthday. Read more http://www.flatstanley.com/
Kids talk about, track, and write about Flat Buddy’s character’s journey and adventures. Writing and learning is easier, flows naturally, and becomes more creative.
I was excited when Flat Buddy arrived direct from the USA via my letterbox. I read instructions to promote children’s literacy and education in a FUN engaging way.
For a week, Flat Buddy and I were inseparable as he posed with Australian people. Together we discovered our heroes, food, native animals and environment.
