My friend is Flat Stanley. He likes to spend a lot of time traveling to different places learning about all sorts of things. I think he is really going to enjoy visiting you all in Brazil. He will be arriving in about 10 days, but I wanted to introduce him to you so he's not a stranger. Here are some things we did right before he left...

Kentucky Fried Chicken is a favorite here in our state! A man made his recipe for frying chicken here and started a business.



I really like to eat the white meat!


Quilts are an Appalachian tradition is our state and some even represent stories. This one was hand made by a woman who lives on the farm I live on.



We get our local news through a newspaper called the Richmond Register. Stanley likes to read lots of different media.




Stanley wanted to ask you some questions about your classroom and activities you do in Brazil.

1. Are you from Brazil? What is the language there?
2. Where you born in Brazil?
3. What are some of your favorite things to do while in school? How long is your day?
4. What fun things do you do at home when you get out of school?
5. How do you get to school?
6. When are your holidays and how do you celebrate?
7. What is you favorite place to eat in Brazil? Is it at home or at another place?
8. How does your country get its leaders? Our president is Barak Obama, the first African American president. Here's his picture...



I look forward to receiving Stanley back in the states and seeing what he did while he was there with you in Brazil. Have fun!
