Flat Stanley Visits the White HousePosted on: Thursday, June 10, 2010President Barack Obama gave Dare Elementary School (DES) student Samantha Wilson some assistance with her recent homework assignment with the Flat Stanley project. The Flat Stanley project is a literacy and letter-writing initiative based on the main character in the Flat Stanley book series by Jeff Brown. First grade students were asked to select a friend or family member anywhere in the world to serve as a “host family” for Flat Stanley. Samantha chose President Obama to host Flat Stanley because he travels so much. Samantha’s sister, Kalynne encouraged her to find a backup host family but Samantha refused and remained confident that the President would not let her down. |
