Un Corazon De Arboles: Beautiful Mistakes @ Darwin Elementary

The Darwin 2nd graders worked from a classic this week by Kenneth Koch. Once when Koch was teaching, a student meant to write “a swarm of bees,” but accidentally wrote “a swan of bees,” and a beautiful mistake was made! This week we discussed how strange images can alight your senses, and how making things out of other things (especially in ways that don’t immediately make sense) is pretty sweet. Also of note: exciting innovations are often made from mistakes, so go ahead and try out some wild ideas, and don’t be afraid of beautiful mistakes. Enjoy!

Silly Thing by Anthony S.

A tree is in the tower
A toy is stuck on the wall
A hand starts on the table
A movie is crazy stuck
A house full with hot wheels
A toy is with chocolate
A book is full with chocolate
A school is full with toys
A wall is full with toys
A sun is full with toys

Everything I Have by Katherine P.

I would like a chocolate of a box
I would like a school of chocolate
I would like a chocolate of a dog
I would like a bag of chocolate
I would like a cat of chocolate
I would like a bike of chocolate
