Elmer is a "different" elephant. Since I teach gifted kids we talk about how everybody is different and I read the book to them. I traced Elemr and put a template on a shared drive.

My traditional first week activity is not the one I put out on my blog- I teach about Ahmad- an imaginary student who is supposed to come to class the next day, but turns out to be too shy.
