I guess I must have been busy the week we did monsters, because these are all the pictures I got! (Could it have been our goal setting conferences? Yep, probably!) Oops!
Anyways, all of these fun goodies came from Julie Lee’s Monster Madness pack.
The kids had a super fun time with all of these centers! Thanks, Julie!
The weekly pocket chart story.

Reading and writing sight words:
Beginning sounds:
Hearing syllable parts:
The kids had great fun with this! We sorted and graphed cheesy chex mix! Yum!
Here are some other monster ideas:
This was a fun poem that we did that my friend Sheyna made!
This fun glyph is from Deanna Jump’s monster glyph. You can find it {here}
This was a directed drawing that Deanna posted on her blog last year. We didn’t get a chance to do it this year, and I was super bummed!
Here is some monster fun that I found on Pinterest! The link to the original post is above the picture.
Shape Monsters:
House of Baby Piranha
This one didn’t have a source, but they’re SOO cute! If it’s yours, let me know, and I’ll link it up for you! (P.S. – When you’re pinning, make sure you pin directly from the blog – don’t click on the picture and then pin it – we loose the source then!)
Lots of cute ideas here!
I LOVE this idea! (I might need to make it for my house! Who would have thought that a nine year old and a 4 1/2 year old would tattle on each other so much! phew!)
Here is a fun {FREEBIE!} monster unit!
Here are some cute monster puppets you can make!

Hi Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteWhat SUPER ideas! Just thought I'd let you know that the "Not so Scary Monster" unit is from Carisa's Blog "1+1+1=1" and not "Our Little Monkeys.....(Dawn has a picture of it on her blog but links to Carisa).....just thougth I'd let you know so people can download it from the right place :-)

I LOVE those shape monsters and have them pinned on my Pinterest too! I was hoping to get to monsters this month, but just haven't gotten there yet. Maybe I can still squeeze in some monster fun this week before Halloween. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI am looking to do a monster unit with my first graders but did not pull it together in time of October. thought that I might do it in the dead of winter when we could all use a smile!
