High Five, English for Life (after school program). Tandil, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
High Five, English for Life is a new informal institution in which we teach English to kids from different schools. We only have Levels 1 and 2 so far as we have just started with the institute.
Kids are from 6 to 10 years old, and the teachers are: Sol Delgado (Level 2),
Agustina Arenzana and Eliana Aristegui (both of us teaching Level 1). For many of our students, this is their first contact with English, so they are really excited about learning a new language!
Our city is located 180 metres (590 ft) above sea level and its coordinates are 37°19′08″S 59°08′05″W. According to the 2010 census (INDEC), Tandil had a population of 116,916. The total area of Tandil is 4,935 km2. Tandil's climate is mild and humid with an average temperature of 13.8 °C (56.8 °F) and 888.6 millimetres (34.98 in) of precipitation annually. Mornings are often cold in autumn, winter and spring, and generally fresh in the summer.

If our Monster used Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) it would make our town a better place to live by working on Sustainable Development Goal 3 – Good Health and Wellbeing. Our monster will have bendy, movable legs to promote active school travel to reduce the number of cars around school which helps keep people safe on the roads and promotes healthy bodies by keeping us moving on our legs.

Elementary. Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Longitude/latitude: 51.0447 N.11.0719 W - High/Low Temperatures: 32C/-35C Sustainable Development Goal: Life Below Water Description: Our monster will have claws to pick up the big pieces of garbage that haven’t dissolved yet and it would have a vacuum to suck up the decomposed waste. It will have a vacuum but a vacuum that also picks up toxic waste. It will raise awareness for not polluting and getting trash in the ocean. It will have a speaking voice to tell people to not throw garbage in any water. In its mouth, the garbage goes in and comes out on the opposite side as water, as it has a filter. The monster has a mini submarine engine for transportation. The moving part will be the claws to pick up garbage. (Mouth) |

Greetings from Ms. Hanson’s 6th grade classes at Pulaski Heights Middle School in
Little Rock, Arkansas (USA)! Little Rock, Arkansas is the state capitol of our state, located in the south central United States at 34.75° N, 92.29° W. Our climate is mostly hot and humid. The average annual temperature is 69° F, with summer temperatures over 90° F and temperatures slightly above freezing in the winter. It rarely snows here, but we do have tornadoes. Arkansas is known as the home of Wal-Mart and Bill Clinton. Known as the “Natural State,” Arkansas enjoys mountains, lakes, forests, caverns, and the only source of natural diamonds in North America. Our farmers are the top producers of rice, as well as other crops. Our monster would make the world a better place by focusing on quality education and gender equality. The monster’s t-shirt features an equal sign for gender equality and it holds a book for education. It’s hands move to turn the pages of the book to educate everyone, boys and girls, and to tell stories that promote gender equality.

Susan Jackson's GT class. Hey! We are 3rd graders from
Williams Traditional Studies Magnet School in Little Rock, Arkansas in the USA. Little Rock is the capitol city of Arkansas and there are almost 198,000 people that live here! It is hot and humid in Little Rock a lot of the year. Temperatures in the summer can be over 90° F. It doesn’t get too cold here, sometimes around 32˚F, and we don’t get much snow. We do get tornadoes though! Little Rock is in the middle of Arkansas and Arkansas is in the south central part of the United States at 34.75˚N, 92.29˚W. Arkansas is called the “Natural State.” There are 2,340 lakes in Arkansas and lots of rivers and streams. We like to visit mountains, lakes, forests, and caverns. Arkansas is the only source of natural diamonds in North America! Some people call us the “Diamond State” and our state gem is a diamond. Our farmers are the top producers of rice, as well as other crops. Sam Walton started WalMart stores here in Arkansas and Bill Clinton was the Governor of Arkansas before he became the President of the United States! Little Rock is also where Little Rock Central High School is. Central High School is famous because it is where desegregation of the schools happened in 1957 and was in the news when the governor said the African American students couldn’t go to school with the white students. Our monster wants to focus on life below water. We want our monster to help keep our lakes, rivers, and streams clean for everybody to enjoy! Our monster’s toes will wiggle to help clean the pollution from the water. (Right Knee) |

Mr. Middleton. We are a 6th grade class at the Centralia Jr. High located in Centralia,
Illinois. Latitude 38°31′31″, Longitude N 89°7′57″W. We are located in the south-central part of southern Illinois. We are approximately 60 miles east of St. Louis, Missouri. I have 130 6th grade students. Here is a look at the type of temperature average we have in Centralia. Annual high temperature: 65.2°F - Annual low temperature: 43.3°F Average temperature: 54.25°F - Average annual precipitation - rainfall: 43.85 inches As a group we have a great number of activities we like to do. A number of us love music, and not just listening to music. A number of are in our school band, and just this week a large number of us has joined the school chorus. We like to play sports as we are involved in football, soccer, baseball, softball. Out of school we like to watch Netflix and play video games. Most of us like school, but I wish they would serve better food. If our Monster used Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) he or she would make our town (or world) a better place to live by working on Goal 2 Ending Hunger. We have a large percent of people in Centralia who fall into the poverty level. That leads to a great number of children, even some CJHS students who don’t get enough food to be healthy. We would like to throw in a little of Goal 8 Decent Work and Economic Growth. We would hope our monster would be able to help bring in more jobs into our city. We have lost several large employers that has left way too many people without jobs. Students understand that with more jobs more of our children would have the chance to not go hungry. We would like to see our monster have big strong moveable arms and hands that can help build the factories for jobs, and at the same time help build community gardens to help our food pantries have enough food to hand out to those in need.

We live in the woods surrounding our school, which is a cool place to be. Learning about the plants and animals who share our woods is important to us. We are doing a Project-Based Learning activity called Bear Aware. So, this STEM Monster project fits right in with our other research learning about ecosystems. We are excited to have a Monster help us with our work. SDG Focus: Goal 15-Life on Land. What our Monster would do: If our Monster used Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM), he or she would make our town (or world) a better place to live by helping us sustain and manage the forest that we live in so we have a healthy mountain ecosystem.

Tracy McIntyre's 3rd grade classes. Queens Creek Elementary. Swansboro, North
Carolina. Miss McIntyre, the STEM Teacher, will be participating in the Global Monster Project this year with her third grade classes.
Classes average 25 students per class and there are 5 classes. Third grade is beginning their human body unit in science so this project can integrate well into this. Monster Name: Plastika Molar Purpose: Sustainable Global Goals #6 and #14: Our monster will eat all the plastic in the ocean so that the sea animals do not get sick. Our
monster has a very important role in the environment. He uses his teeth to grind the plastic in the ocean for
its food so it doesn't harm the sea animals. Our monster's main mission is to
clean up the ocean and educate everyone on the importance of
recycling. (Teeth) |
