Kindergarten read Jeremy Draws a Monster, a story about a little boy who has a magic pen that can make things come to life. Jeremy draws a monster who turns out to be very rude and demanding. He keeps making Jeremy draw him things he wants until Jeremy comes up with a plan to get rid of the monster.
We then discussed what we might find on a monster and what shapes would be good to use. For example: spikes or sharp teeth are great for triangles! We also discussed what an organic shape was. Kindergarten dubbed organic shapes "the blobby shapes", which makes sense to me! Using string, students created an organic shape body for their monster.
Using a number dice, as well as a special dice I made myself, students rolled the dice to determine what their monster looked like. The dice I made had body parts on it: eyes, hair, hands and feet, mouth, teeth, and nose. Students would draw whatever the dice told them to! If that meant 6 eyes, 3 noses, 1 hair, 4 hands and feet, 2 mouths and 4 teeth... so be it! Heres how they came out!
