Collaboration, creativity and a little monster magic made for a memorable learning experience! 👾📚✨

Recently, Misty Thompson’s first grade class at #CommunityElementarySchool teamed up with Cindy Friendman’s students at #CommunityHighSchool for a cross-grade project centered around friendly monsters. After listening to stories about friendly monsters, the first graders designed their own characters and wrote creative stories to match.🎨✏️

Using the students’ templates, Mrs. Friedman’s class brought the monsters to life by creating stuffed versions of each design 🧵🪡. The excitement continued when they visited the first graders to personally deliver the handmade stuffies 🤝💛. #Students then read their stories aloud and compared their creations to the finished stuffed monsters, each one uniquely matched their original designs!

This project showcased creativity, #teamwork and meaningful connections between students of all ages 🌟👏. Check out these wonderful moments and friendly monsters!
