We started our planning for the Global Monster Project today. Our class was assigned the arms for our monster part. Students had to draw their part of the arm and make a list of the materials needed. Please check with your child to see what part of the arm he/she was assigned and if he/she needs any materials. Below is a description of the project...
From the October Principals Report:
Global Monster Project
The ALPs Enrichment K-8 teachers team up with 20 classroom teachers, Grades 3-5, to participate in the Global Monster Project. Descriptions of each part of the monster (52 parts in all) are created by each participating classroom and encompass students from around the world to include Brazil, Russia, Siberia, and Thailand. Additionally, students are asked to state how their monster would use STEM to make their school, town or world a better place. Students will discover that designing and building a monster together is a challenging task. Each student pair will be making one or two parts of the monster but will have to collaborate with other students in order to put the entire monster together. We are planning to build at least one monster per grade level but only one monster will be able to be entered in the contest. The community will be asked to help support this cause by donating recycled material. For more information, visit http://www.smithclass.org/proj/Monsters/
