Monster Creation Time
Sheldon High School's Family Consumer Science class is working on a felt monster project with the Kindergartners at East Elementary.
High School students read a story to the Kindergarteners about monsters and then had the kindergarteners set out to draw their own monsters.
Once the monster was drawn, the high school students took the drawing and are currently working on turning it into a felt monster for their sewing unit.
Stay tuned to see how these monsters turn out!
