At part of our topic - "Making connections to the world" - We looked at the Elephant Festival in Jaipur, India.


We were fascinated and decided to do some descriptive writing about the pictures above.  After writing we did some art work as well!


Enjoy our work!

  1. Those elephants are amazingly beautiful. Thank you for sharing. What fabulous writing you have created about the elephants, Room 25! Very evocative language (that means it gives me a picture in my mind). Maybe you could put some of your art work on the blog, too!

  4. Hi Mr Greenfield and Jodie

    Thanks for your comment! It makes us happy to know that someone loves our writing and pictures as much as we do!

    You said that we used evocative language in our writing - That made us feel good because our writing goals were to use at least 2 WOW words and go back to our writing and change one sentence starter to make it more interesting

    We hope you have a nice week!

    From Room 25
