Announcing the MONSTER EXCHANGE Project!

I can't beleive that tomorrow is October 1st! Time flies in first grade, and soon  MONSTERS will appear in Room 102! Each year the boys in my class participate in a wonderful reading and writing project called Monster Exchange.

We will be partnering with Mrs. Carbone's First Grade Class from Randall Carter Elementary in Wayne, New Jersey. We will start this week and hopefully finish-up the project the last week of October.  Below is the schedule the two classes will follow.

Week 1 - Each student will design and draw an orginal monster.
Week 2 - Each student will write a description of thier monster.
Week 3 - Teachers will exchange descriptions via e-mail. Each boy will be paired with a student from New Jersey. Then each student will read their partner's description and redraw their monster using only the written description.
Week 4 - Teachers will upload the written descriptions, orginal monster pictures, and redrawn monsters to the Monster Exchange site.

We hope you will keep up with our progress using the link below.

It should be a HOOT!
