Elephant Craft: Letter E Creative Writing Prompt and Animal Research Activity

Sunday, March 3, 2013

Elisabeth the Elephant makes letter E week extra special. Students build the craft, write about what they would do if they were or owned an elephant, and record real facts.

This elephant craft is a letter E activity that pairs Elisabeth the Elephant with writing prompts and a simple research page. Students build the craft, write about what they would do if they were or owned an elephant, and record real facts, so 1 animal covers art, writing, and science.
