Here is a life-sized elephant constructed entirely of poems (haikus and diamantes) written by second and third graders, and inspired (in part) by a few odd lines from The Magician’s Elephant: “The dimensions of an elephant are most impressive. The dimensions of an elephant are impressive in the extreme.”
Some of the students who had a hand in making this elephant came to the library event in San Diego last month. Their teacher (Stephanie Barnes) sent along this picture of what they had all made together.
I cannot get over the depth and breadth and width of creativity and love on display here.
The imaginative dimensions of a teacher are most impressive.
