Students are still having lots of fun with the monsters they have created. We read a funny book about how to get rid of monsters that live in different places in your home and then talked about where their monsters live. They have created habitats for their monsters by painting a picture or actually building the habitat out of plastercine or other craft materials. Many students are working together to build an environment or ecosystem for several of the monsters to live together.
During our sharing time, a lot of their Science learning is evident. We are finding out about the kinds of things the monsters need to survive and also the similarities and differences between the characteristics of the different monsters. Some questions you could ask your child about his/her monster are: Describe its habitat. How does it stay warm or does it like the cold? How does it move? What does it eat? What are its enemies or predators? How is it similar to another animal you know about?
