3rd Grade Trash Monsters
Mrs. Bogardus' , and Mrs. Martell's 3rd grade students created up-cycled monsters in Mrs. Shoup's art class during arts integration time. We read the book "The Monster Who Ate My Peas" in art class. The students planned, sketched, and wrote about their monsters. Students had collected many recyclables to use in the creation of their monsters. It was a truly open-ended creative process. The students really enjoyed creating the monsters and had many great ideas . The monsters and stories where shared with families at the spring art show in our district. Our monsters each have their own theme...For example, "The Monster Who Does My Homework" or "The Monster Who Eats My Cooked Carrots" or "The Monster Who Stole My Style" .
