Thanks, Ellen! Yes, isn’t it something! This collaboration was a little different as there was no communication between the students and me, only between the art and words! Interesting the way it worked out.

Dear Julie, Congratulations to you and all who worked with the project. I like what you say about “the synergy that emerges from collaboration.”

This is so inspirational, collaborative, formative and beautiful–the essence of haiku.

How exciting to view these three images in the story book path–the project is most interesting starting with the haiku–thinking about the mood, what the words say–obviously the students really liked doing this. Thank you for sharing this unique experience.

In reply to Alan Summers.

Thanks, Alan. Agreed! As with any teaching experience, we often don’t know how far the reach might extend. And so, we keep putting out the word and hoping for the domino effect!
