This project was done with my daughter's second grade class. I used an anonymous poem called The Wise Old Owl:
The Wise Old Owl sat in the oak.
The more he saw
the less he spoke.
The less he spoke
the more he heard
Why can't we be like that wise old bird.
This was inspired by Calder's mobiles. Some kids paint the trunk, they all make their own owls and I help put all the pieces together. This project encourages teamwork, individuality, project development (from a drawing to reality) and clean-up responsibilities. It took about 30 to 45 minutes.
