Monster Project

The Second Grade students recently began work on a "Monster Project" that involves drawing and describing a "monster" and sending the description to a school that we are paired with in Illinois.  This collaborative venture incorporates creative writing using adjectives with drawing and improves visualization skills.  We will send twenty descriptions to our partner class at Jefferson Elementary School in Ottawa, IL and see if they are able to accurately duplicate them.  As an introduction to the project we watched one of my very favorite cartoons from Saturday mornings as a youngster - see below and enjoy!
