My name is Julia Karaban. I'm an English teacher.
My group of students is from the 6th grade. They are really nice, active
and creative. There are only 10 students in the group: we have nice nine
girls and one very smart boy. They are 12 years old now. We live in
Russia, Siberia. This place is called Khakasia or Republic of
Khakasia. We live in a town of Sayanogorsk. We go to the
secondary school No. 2 (Sayanogorsk Secondary School No. 2). The weather
is rather changeable and unpredictable in our place. We have warm
summers ( +25C - +35C) and cold winters (- 15C - -40C). |

We
are local when we learn and share at home, but when we are global
everything changes because… If
our class Monster could use any type of technology it would be a jumbo jet because
our monster could take us to visit people all around the world.
Our monster could visit all of the other monsters from the project.

We are a Grade 3 class with 23 students. Our school's name is Prince
Edward school. It is an awesome school because we have awesome
teachers and clubs almost every day! We live in Winnipeg, Manitoba,
Canada. Sometimes it feels like winter never ends, but Winnipeg is
still a great city to live in. We have a place called The Forks. It is a common meeting area in the center of the city where we gather to celebrate special holidays and events. In the winter, there is even a skating trail on the river! We are excited to build the monster!
Happy building everyone! |

We are Diane Sloan's Class 2 from Rowsley
CE Primary in Derbyshire, England. (53.1900 North, 1.6140 West)
When we are Local we learn and share at home, but when we are GLOBAL, everything changes because we can get involved with schools
all around the world. If our monster
could use any technology, it would be to answer
questions in any language because it would be useful, helpful and fun! |

Our Class Teacher is Miss Owen and we are lucky to have Ms Perez, Mr Elia and Mr Aggudey as LSA's. Our school icon is an Emu, however our school is located in
London, United Kingdom. We are a Year 2 Class at Langbourne Primary and we are 6 and 7 years old. Our School is in Dulwich, South East London, England. We have 28 children in our class. Our class is multi cultural and we have families from many different countries. There are 13 girls and 15 boys in our class. At the moment the weather is getting cooler because it is Autumn and our school is busy planting flower bulbs ready for Spring. During Winter we do not get much light, it is dark when we come to school and when we leave. We sometimes are lucky enough to have snow. Our Summer can get warm and we enjoy the sun when it appears. This is our first ever year to join the monster project but we are very excited and enthusiastic at the thought of making a monster and being connected to children from all around the world.

Hello Terry Smith and Monster Project Classes! We are a class of fourth graders at Jaworek Elementary School. The boys outnumber the girls, two to one. There are 7 girls and 14 boys in our class. Our teachers are Mrs. Gibbons and Mrs. Federico. We can speak English, Spanish, Portuguese, Malayalam, a little German, Greek, and Czechoslovakian. For fun we speak Pig Latin. We like to learn about other countries and planets. We wonder if there is life on other planets. Maybe next year, an alien from space could join the Monster Project. Marlborough’s latitude is 42.3458 degrees N and our longitude is 71.5528 degrees W. It takes about 45 minutes to drive a car from Marlborough to Boston on the East Coast. Our summer temperatures can reach the high 90s, and we can go a few degrees below 0 in the winter. This week we have enjoyed pleasant temperatures in the high 70s to low 80s during the day, cooling down to about 50 degrees late at night. Based on our City of Marlborough 2010 census, we have rounded our population to about 38,000 people. Marlborough covers 22.2 square miles. When we are local we visit our friends, neighbors, and families. We walk to school, ride the bus, or carpool. We buy our groceries at places like Price Choppers, Wegmans, the Food Pantry and local farm stands. We do a lot of the same things on weekends. Some of us have chores like raking leaves, taking out the garbage, washing dishes, and vacuuming. We play a lot of sports like soccer, football and basketball. We also play video games, go shopping at the mall, and practice Teck Deck and skateboarding tricks. We like to visit friends, run in races and one of us does homework. When we are global, we send emails to people who are sleeping when we are going to school. Technology helps us to talk to people at all different times of the day. We will learn about other languages, holidays and cultures. We already noticed that some schools use the Metric System for measurement and others use the US Customary System. We use 21st century technology when we use iPhones, iPods, Nintendo games, tablets, and computers. We can Skype to see and chat with other classes and email each other with pictures and videos. We look forward to seeing your monsters! |

Hello! We are Mrs. Banghart and Mrs. Baker's 4th grade classes at Valdese
Elementary School in Valdese North Carolina, United States.
Our latitude and longitude are: 35.7406N, 81.5633W. The high
temperatures around here are usually in the 90's but because of
humidity, it feels much hotter! The low temperatures around here
are usually in the teens and twenties. But it has been colder than
that before. We are two classes
of 24 students in each class.
Our school has over 400 students. We are really excited
to participate in this project and getting to know more about our other
monster makers! (1)

Hello!
We are the fifth graders at Gale
Elementary School. There
are three sections of us, 58
students in all. Mrs. Rush is
our monster-making social studies teacher.
Last year, she, along with her cooperating teacher, Mrs. Kern, and
her West Prairie North, fourth grade students from Good Hope, Illinois
created an amazing monster, Mr. J.T. Puvuvled.
This year, she and her fifth grade students at Gale are looking
forward to working together to build a spooktacular 3-D monster.
Gale Elementary School is in Galesburg, Illinois, U.S.A. and is
located at 40.9522° N, 90.3686°
W. Galesburg’s population is
roughly 32,000 and we are approximately 200 miles (3+ hours) southwest of
Chicago, Illinois. Our average
high temperature in the summer is 85°F and our average low temperature in
the winter is 32°F. We are
eagerly anticipating making new friends around the world, as we build our
monster. It is our hope to
connect via skyping, and emailing, with as many participating monster
makers, as possible. We live in the Midwest
region of the United States. It
is very flat here and good for farming.
Illinois is the number one pumpkin producer in the U.S.A., and, is
also one of the largest corn producers.
We have three lakes in Galesburg, and we also have lots of trains.
Our city is a major railroad hub.
During the summer, we celebrate our railroad community by having
“Railroad Days,” a carnival, with street vendors, railroad displays,
races, and other sporting events. Our
school is amazing and we all love it!
Close to 400 students attend Gale.
We have students from kindergarten level up to fifth grade and most
grades have three sections per grade level.
We
are local when we learn and
share at home, but when we are GLOBAL,
everything changes because......
If our class Monster could use any kind of technology, it would be ...... Please
Skype and/or email us and tell us about yourselves, what you are learning,
and how your monster is coming along.

We are Miss
Cawthon's 4th grade classes at St. Francis Solanus School.
We are from Quincy, Illinois in the United States of
America. We have two 4th grade classes at our school, and Miss Cawthon
teaches both classes Social Studies. Our classes are filled with 25
students ages 9 - 10. We are a Catholic School with students in
pre-school through 8th grade. We are located at 39.93 degrees North
Latitude and 91.38 degrees West Longitude. We live right next to
the Mississippi River, one of the longest rivers in North America. We
have cold winters (about 25 - 30 degrees) and hot summers (85 - 100
degrees). It snows in the winter and we have humid, sticky summers. In our free time, we enjoy playing sports like
football, baseball, volleyball, and gymnastics. Our school day includes
math, social studies, science, reading, english, and religion classes,
Each week we have P.E., music, art, and computer classes. We go to
Catholic mass twice a week and get to plan our own masses throughout the
year. 1) We are local when we learn and share at
home, but when we are GLOBAL, everything changes because we get
to meet new people from around the country and learn how their lives are
similar and different from ours. 2) If our class Monster could use any kind of
technology, it would be a cell phone because
it could download apps to call and text its friends and maybe even teleport. |

Hello! We are Mrs. Breheny's Kindergarten and Mrs. Cody's 6th grade students of
St. Paul School, Macomb, Illinois. Helping us also is Brianna Martin, a preservice teacher from Western Illinois University. We have teamed up once again to do the Global Monster Project and are looking forward to creating an awesome monster! St. Paul school is located in west central Illinois (40.4605N and 90.6740W). Our community consists of about 20,000 people. Our school has an enrollment of 176 pre-K through 6th grade students. A little more information about school – we often incorporate technology in our classroom such as Smart Boards and iPads, we have an awesome girl and boys basketball team, volleyball team and we are the only Catholic or parochial school in our town! Here in Macomb, we are mostly a farming community. We are the home of Western Illinois University and Spoon River College, thus our community consists of college students, professors and many others who make this a great community! In the Midwest we have four seasons of the year – spring, summer, winter and fall. Temperatures range anywhere from 100 degrees F or above in the summer to -5 degrees F or below in the winter – one extreme to the next! We are excited to begin! |

Miss
Boles’s fourth grade class attends Erdenheim
Elementary School. We are located in Springfield Township,
Montgomery County Pa. We are in the Eastern time zone at 40
degrees latitude (Fun Fact: this is the same latitude as Bursa,
Turkey!) and -75 degrees longitude. It has an average elevation of 174
feet above sea level. In the winter, our average temperature is 35
degrees C. In the summer our average temperature is about 86 degrees
C.
If you go onto the site, www.sdst.org and check out the teacher’s sites, you will find ours! Erin thinks that she is the most awesome person in the world. We have nine boys in our class and 11 girls. Miss Boles is a girl too. We have stuffed animals in our classroom. One of them, the bull, just returned from the emergency room. We are a fun class and we cannot WAIT to get started. We are Local when we learn and share at
home, but when we are GLOBAL, everything changes because we get
to know other people and cultures. If our class Monster could use any
kind of technology, it would be an iPhone or android because we want
the monster to be able to text, play games, and talk to his mommy.
Thank you! |

This is Miss McFarland’s, fourth
grade class. We are the most awesome class at Erdenheim
Elementary School and we are so excited to make a huge, crazy,
scary, fun, playful and 3-D monster! We are located about 16 miles from Philadelphia, PA. Some exciting
things you can see and do there are the Liberty Bell, the
Philadelphia Zoo (the oldest zoo in America), go to the Eagles, Phillies
and Flyers game. It was home to the first White House. We also have the
best cheesesteaks and soft pretzels in the world! We are local when we learn and share at home, but when we
are global everything changes because there are more people to
talk and share ideas with and we get to learn about different cultures. If our monster could use any type of technology, it would be: 1. IPAD so it could play games and music 2. Computer so it could play and talk with other
monsters online 3. Teleportation so it could go into the future and
bring back lots of wacky things, such as a Nike Elite phone 4. IPhone so that it could talk to his monster friends |

We like to play outside, draw, read, and partner up.
Many of us like Gym as our favorite special subject. We
are local when we learn and share at home, but when we are global,
everything changes because: -we
all work together If
our class Monster could use any kind of technology, it would be
remote control cars because it could move around.
Also, magnetic hands, so it could grab things.
It would have a jet pack, so it could fly.
It could use a computer chip to make it smart. Also, it could use
robotic wings to make it look like it was flapping. |

We are Mrs. Meyer’s awesome fourth grade class from
Erdenheim
Elementary! We are located in Flourtown Pennsylvania in the USA at 40 degrees north and 75 degrees west. In our class, we have 22 friendly and energetic kids - 11 boys and 11 girls. We love to read and do math, and we love fun projects. We’re very excited to use our creativity while doing this Monster Project! We live close to historic Philadelphia where the US Constitution was written and the Liberty Bell lives. There’s a lot to learn at all of our wonderful museums, or you could visit Valley Forge for a taste of history. The Philadelphia area is also known for its yummy food, like our world famous cheesesteaks, warm soft pretzels, refreshing water ice, and sweet Hershey’s chocolate. Our class is also a fan of all of our sports teams – Phillies (baseball), Eagles (football), Flyers (ice hockey), 76ers (basketball), and Union (soccer). We are local when we learn and share at home, but when we are global everything changes because we can learn about different countries and their cultures. This will help us to be able to respect differences when we meet new people from around the world. If our class monster could use any kind of technology, it would be an iPad because it could be used to control our monster. We could program it to search out our monster’s prey. Or it could be used to take pictures, facetime other monsters, or play our favorite monster music. |

Hello
fellow monster makers! We are Ms. Superty’s awesome sixth grade
class at Wilmore Davis elementary school. We have thirteen girls
and ten boys in our class. All together there are 23 kids. Our school is
34,000sq feet. Also our school has 348 students! We are located in Wheat
Ridge, Colorado. Wheat Ridge is a suburb of Denver that was named
for the golden ridges of wheat noted by the passing travelers in 1859.
During the gold rush we served as a rest spot for miners headed to
mountain gold camps. Wheat Ridge was at one time the largest producer of
carnations in the world, and is known as carnation city. This great city
was incorporated in 1969. Wheat Ridge encompasses 9.5 square miles. Wow!
I never realized how small this city is! Our precipitation is 12.6
inches per year and we average 53 inches of snowfall. You might be seeing a lot about our neighbors on the news due to the recent flash floods. Luckily we did not experience the extreme flooding in our city, and we were extremely happy to see the sun shining today! We look forward to interacting with you as we make our monster!

Our town is close to the city of Philadelphia and about 2 hours away from New
York City. Dinosaur bones were found in our town a long time ago. We like many
sports like soccer, football, baseball, hockey, swimming, field hockey,
kickball, and baseball. We like music, art, and Physical Education. We hope to
see your monster soon, and we hope you will like what we create! We
love to Skype! We would love to connect with some other monster building
classes! Skype

are local when we learn and share at home, but when we are GLOBAL, everything
is different because we can find out how other people in the world live and
what jobs they have. If
our class monster could use any kind of technology, it would be an iPad because
the monster could Skype with all of the other monsters! |

Mrs
Kylie Daemmrich and Mrs
Julie Perez’s fourth grade classes of 33 nine and ten year olds
are building our fifth monster at St
Mary’s Visitation School in Elm Grove, Wisconsin, USA.
You can visit our class
blog to see other projects we do throughout the year.
Our city’s latitude and longitude are 43°
2' 35" N / 88° 4' 44" W. Our
class studies math, science, social studies, reading/language arts,
religion, art, and computers. We
go to other teachers to learn music, Spanish, and physical education.
Our school is a S.T.E.M. school (science, technology,
engineering, and math) and we get to work with field experts several
times throughout the year. We
like meeting and talking with students from other schools. We are local when we
learn and share at home, but when we are global everything
changes because… If our class Monster could
use any type of technology it would be a time traveler because he could
go to any time in history. We
also think he would use an iPhone 5C to connect with monster friends and
learn using educational apps. Email
us at kdaemmrich@stmaryeg.org
or jperez@stmaryeg.org if
you’re interested in Skyping (smv421) with us or playing chess
via email. |

Hi
we are Ms. Baden’s PreK/Kindergarten
class from Lake Asbury Elementary School located in Green Cove
Springs, Florida. Our school mascot is Rams. We are a small class of
6 with 1 teacher (Ms. Baden) and 2 assistants (Mrs. Stravato and Ms.
Brandau). We are very active and love to work on computers and do hands
on activities. We
are LOCAL when we learn and share at home, but when we are GLOBAL,
everything changes because the world opens up to us. If
our class MONSTER could use any kind of technology, it would be the
computer because computers allow us to communicate to others. |
