Our Monster travels....

We began the project by creating a class monster using Kidspiration program and voted on the one to use. Since the children are not allowed to email, I began by sending a note home to parents explaining that I would need their email address. Various students typed emails using my email account.
We emailed our parents them a friendly email attaching our mascot and asking them to forward this email and then have them write a note back to us. We then replied with a thank you and students located area on a map. The students began mailing various people explaining our project and telling them we would like them to pass the monster on and email a note back to us. When we received emails back, we would read them and then locate where it came from on a map. Various students responded to the email using my account and locating it on a large class map. The students then took pictures with the mascot and the map.
