Monster Unit

So I've gotten really behind on my monkey school reporting. So here is a quick recap of our monster unit (mostly without pictures, sigh.)

Books:

Go Away Big Green Monster, and Leonardo the Terrible Monstor.

 

Art Projects:

Playdoh monsters.  The kids loved this.  We did the monsters one week, and the next week we made Monster Frames for the pictures I took.

Monster Vests.  We made monster costumes out of paper bags.  and then used bugles for monster "claws".  

Activities:

Monster sort:  I decorated a bucket like a monster and we fed it the appropriate number of animals.  

Wonderful Friend vs Terrible Monster:  I had the kids act out being wonderful friends and then being terrible monsters.  

Snack:  We made big green monster pancakes with whipped cream, and fruit to make the faces.  

I am sure we did other things, I just can't think of them right now.  It was a great unit and the kids had a lot of fun.  Except for one kid who was afraid of the book "Go Away Big Green Monster".  oops.
