This week was monster week! We discovered monsters are just creatures from our own imagination. We tried creating a monster from a given set of directions. Even though we each followed the same directions our monsters were all different. We decided that was because each of us are different and everyone has their own imagination. We determined monsters are pretty easy to draw because there is no set way a monster has to look. Armed with that information, we set out to draw and color our own monsters. Then we each wrote a short descriptive story about a monster from our imagination that we turned into a class book. We ended the week by creating a monster and planting monster hair! Hopefully it will grow with some sunlight and water.
