SHHHHHHHHH....BEWARE Live Monsters!!!

A few weeks ago I walked into one of my classrooms and was greeted by children telling me to watch out there were live monsters in the room. This teacher gave each child a monster. The monster was their writing buddy. Sometimes these monsters brought messages, made messes and kept us all on our toes. One day 3 were even sent to the monster hospital. The kids were so motivated to write! It was precious to hear their whisper conversations with their monsters. The writing was precious and brought great quality. These kids have now taken their monsters home but are still very motivated in writing. What a great idea and joy to see!
