The assignment for Language Arts: Create a 3-D container to hold the poems written during a recent poetry unit. The only specification was that it needed to reflect something about the student. Since he loves to draw, Jordan immediately thought of making a big pencil.
While other kids did shoe-box sized creations, Jordan always thinks a little bit bigger. "Big" for him translates into something in the 6-feet range...
Jordan with the final product. He started with two mailing tubes, and it grew from there. The supply list includes lots of cardboard, posterboard, newspaper & glue for paper-mache, mod podge, a fishing weight, velcro, tape, and lots of paint.
He created the eraser on a hinge with a pocket inside the pencil to hold the poems.
I'm just happy to have my kitchen back. The giant pencil took 10 days to create. Extreme creativity comes with a price.

That looks awesome! A boy after my own heart.
Wow! He better have gotten an "A" on the project for that one.
That is impressive...great job Jordan!
Wow...so creative. I'm more on the shoebox size creator myself!
Now that is AWESOME! Way impressive! It's going to be hard to top that one (in size anyway =)in the future, although for Jordan it's very probable!
That is SO cool!!!
I love the extreme school supplies!
