Monster Mama

Before Halloween, we read a funny book called My Monster Mama Loves Me So. Using a lesson plan written by Marilyn Burns, we looked at the pictures of the monster boy and monster mama and counted their body parts. Monster mama has 3 eyes and monster boy has 3 eyes. That's a doubles fact in addition: 3 eyes + 3 eyes = 6 eyes altogether.
We drew our own monsters. On this slide show, called a VoiceThread, you can see our pictures and hear us list the monster body parts in our pictures. You can comment on our VoiceThread or on our blog and write doubles facts from our pictures.
We looking forward to hearing from you.

  1. Ms. Kellogg's Class,

    What great monsters you created, I really enjoyed viewing and listenting to your Voicethread. I had fun trying to figure out all the double math facts your created with your monster body parts. My monster would have 6 eyes, 6 ears, 6 toes, and 6 fingers.
