Today in honor of the Great Grymes Pumpkin Carving Contest being held next week, we are going to carve pumpkins using an online web application during computer class. The pumpkins should be created to match one of the contest categories: Scariest, Funniest, Most Creative, Celebrity Look- Alike, or Strangest Creature.
Students will continue to work on creating monsters using Pixie that they will use as the subject of a descriptive writing project. They will be encouraged to add details to their monsters that they will be able to describe with adjectives. At the end of the class the students will select the monster from the ones they created to use for their written descriptions.
Today the second grade will begin a collaborative project between their computer class, their homeroom classroom, and the library called the Monster Adjective Project. They will use Pixie and their imaginations to create pictures of an original monster. Next week each student will select one of the monster pictures they create to become the subject of an adjective-filled descriptive paragraph.
