Hamilton Elementary School
Travel Bear Project
Jean McCrum's
second grade class at Hamilton Elementary School is having a
blast with "The Travel Bear Project," which is a spin-off of the
book Flat Stanley. Flat Stanley traveled all over
the world and shared his adventures. Travel Bear will be
sharing his adventures too.
How It Works
The class mailed out the bear and a journal with direction
to people all over the world...including some close to home.
The person who gets the bear is asked to do something in their
community with the "Travel Bear" and then email back, write a
journal entry to let the class know what they did with the bear,
provide information about the community including famous places
or monuments and then mail the bear and journal off to someone
else they know far away. The journal include
directions for the person who ha it in Mail to mail it back to
the second graders at Hamilton.
At the end of
he year, McCrum and her students will invite parents, the
principal and any local people who had he bear to come in and
listen to the students read the journal about where "Travel
Bear" visited.
