Reading and Making
Here are some of our reads and our creations!
El violin de Ada
The Book of Mistakes
The weird frog-cat-cow thing? It made an excellent bush.
And the inky smudges… they look as if they were always meant to be leaves floating gently across the sky.
As one artist incorporates accidental splotches, spots, and misshapen things into her art, she transforms her piece in quirky and unexpected ways, taking readers on a journey through her process. Told in minimal, playful text, this story shows readers that even the biggest “mistakes” can be the source of the brightest ideas—and that, at the end of the day, we are all works in progress, too.
Fans of Peter Reynolds’s Ish and Patrick McDonnell’s A Perfectly Messed-Up Story will love the funny, poignant, completely unique storytelling of The Book of Mistakes. And, like Oh, The Places You’ll Go!, it makes the perfect graduation gift, encouraging readers to have a positive outlook as they learn to face life’s obstacles"

Team Building Game... Story Toss
Using Kai's alebrije as inspiration for a character, the students created a story. Each hacedor added a sentence that pushed the plot. They traveled dimensions, used potions, and made-do with the circumstances the characters found themselves in!
Once upon a time there was an elephant named Jumbo that had big floppy wings and laser eyes. Jumbo could swim underwater. He ate fishes. He could fly in the sky and hop on an airplane. He enjoyed skydiving off the airplane. But one day, there were aliens from another dimension that invaded his world. Jumbo used his laser eyes to attack them. He begins to scream and yell for help but winds up leaving his own dimension. He's free but finds himself inside of a watch worn by an angry bird. The angry bird takes his watch off and puts it in a drawer. Jumbo is trapped! Then Jumbo used his secret walkie talkie to get help. His friend Andersen heard him and came to his rescue. Andersen opened the drawer and used a super-sized potion. This potion made Jumbo so big that he split the house in half. However his size only lasted a short while. Luckily, he found himself as his normal size. Together they played all day long. They decided to make the most of the new dimension.
