Hello world of Think.MTV…I need your help….meet Flat Miranda…she is the flat version of a very good friend of mine’s daughter, who is only 6 years old. This was a school project that was started September 29, 2008, this project is explained in the letter below, unfortunately the first Flat Miranda was lost and the real Miranda is devastated and is four months behind on her project. My friends live in Maryland and have sent Flat Miranda to me, here in California to take her on a journey and send pictures of the places that Flat Miranda has visited, along with a few details of the places she has visited. I would like you to take the time to print out Flat Miranda and cut her out and then take a picture of her in your town, City, home or place of business, then forward these photos, along with of brief description of Flat Miranda’s adventure….I know this sounds very silly, but hey…it can be fun and the most important part is…the fact,that you will be helping a six year old girl who is four months behind on her project because the people she originally chose for Flat Miranda’s adventure let her down. Now, we have a chance to make it right and help the real Miranda with her project and let her know that there is good in this world and that everyone in life won’t let you down! Send photos and brief description of adventure to flatmiranda@aol.com!

Thanks…you are truly the best!
Peace and God Bless!

Dear Recipient,
As part of this year’s reading/language arts curriculum, all 1st graders will participate in the “Flat Stanley Project”. This project began when we read the book Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown. This story is about the adventures of Stanley Lambchop, a little boy who is squashed by a falling bulletin board and has many adventures being flat.
Following our book reading, students created a flat image of himself or herself to send by mail to a friend or relative along with a letter explaining their project. As the recipient, we are asking you to treat the “flat” child that you received to an adventure, perhaps visiting a point of interest where you live. Then send him or her on to someone else who might do the same.
This project will allow students to learn about maps and globes, practice writing a letter, and participate in the joy of receiving mail all year long.
Your support is extremely important to the success of this project! We ask you to do the following:
1. Send the “flat” child who wrote to you a picture, showing where you live and telling about your town to flatmiranda@aol.com.
2. Send this letter along with the “flat” child to a friend

Thank you for participating in our “Flat Stanley Project”.

Flat Miranda is cute!!!!!!

Thanks for the invitation to participate in the “Flat Stanley Project”, this sounds fun. I don’t know where I’ll take “flat” Miranda, but I’ll be sure to make it an adventure.

TTFN,

Thank you so much Trinity Christian, that means a lot to me and the "Real" Miranda. I took Flat Miranda on an adventure today and we had a blast, it is so funny how people get involved and before you know it, everyone was talking to her...too, funny!!! Oh, and I even ran into a lady who had a "Flat Josh!", too, cool!!!

Peace and God Bless!
