Which Sustainable Development Goals will your Monster work on?

Argentina

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. 

Our monster will have Moving Ears. Regarding Sustainable Development Goals, it will be related to goals 11 (sustainable cities and communities), 12 (responsible consumption and production), 13 (climate action), 15 (Life on land) and 17 (partnership for the goals). We are going to work together to build our monster with recycled materials while we reflect upon the impact of our lifestyle on our environment.

Australia

Sarah Gray's year 2. St. Joachim's Catholic Primary School. Brisbane, Australia.
We are so looking forward to being a part of the Monster Project this year. Last year we saw our teachers do it with their previous class and we loved the monster they made! We are in Year 2 this year and now it is our turn to participate in the Project. We are a class of 50, 7-8 year-olds and we are currently enjoying a warm Spring in Brisbane, Australia with average daily temperatures of 24 degrees Celsius.

                                                                  

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.

Canada

Hello from Collen Shaw in Airdrie, Alberta, Canada. I hope you are doing well. Last year three, grade three teachers from Windsong Heights participated in the Global Monster Project. This year we have four grade three classes that will be participating. Alberta is one of the Western provinces in Canada. The city of Airdrie has a population of 70,000 people. Windsong Heights School serves a diverse student population from K-8. We just started our school year on September 3rd, so we are just getting to know one another. We love to draw and read. 

The latitude/longitude of Airdrie is 51.2927° N, 114.0134° W. Airdrie reaches a high of 24° Celcius during the months of July and August. Our average low temperature is -13° Celcius although it can feel much colder than this with the wind chill.

Our Sustainable Development Goal Focus for this year is Goal Number Four - Quality Education. Being a lifelong learner is so important because the world is constantly changing and having a quality education will help you to understand the world and make wise choices.  Our monster would have the ability to read books out loud to children so they could hear great stories. It would also hand out free books. Our monster would make learning fun by filling the classroom with laughter! 
                                                                 
I will be posting pictures of our progress on Twitter using  @colleen_shaw and Instagram at colleen_shaw.

High and Low Temp in Celsius: 28 to -4

If our monster used STEM, he or she would make our city (or world) a better place to live by working on Sustainable Development Goal: Goal #6 Clean Water and Sanitation. Explanation of what our monster would do: Our monster would develop ways to clean water to ensure that all people have access to clean water to drink. The students decided that the monster would use its horn to pick up garbage while swimming in the water. It would also have an invention that would allow it to filter or clean the water to remove any particles, bacteria or diseases that would make people sick. They are thinking it would be part of the skateboard or attached to it.

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)

Arkansas 

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.

California

Helena Curtis & Jannet Odom. 2nd grade. Hello Monster Project teachers and students!! We are two classes made up of 24 students and 23 students in second grade from Majestic Way Elementary School in the city of San Jose in California, the U.S.A, coordinates = 37.3382° N, 121.8863°. Our temperatures range from a cooler 42°F to a hot 95°F. 

                                

We are very excited to make our monster and see the rest of the Monsters all over the world! :)
Our monster wants to make the world a better place to live by working on three Sustainable Development Goals: zero hunger, good health and well-being, and responsible consumption and production. We are hoping to make our school a better place by working towards improving our cafeteria so our monster is checking to see if we are not wasting food at school, and recycling our plastics and papers. We hope our monster helps us to keep our cafeteria a safe, clean, and non wasteful place. 
Moving Part: One arm will be a waving arm.

Florida

Melinda Baden, LAE TEACHER, PRE-KDG ESE, Green Cove Springs, Florida

Hi, we are Ms. Baden’s PreK class from Lake Asbury Elementary School located in Green
Cove Springs, Florida.
Our school mascot is Rams. We are a small class of 4 students, 1
teacher (Ms. Baden), and 2 assistants (Mrs. Stravato and Ms. Williams). We are very
active and love to do hands on activities. We are really EXCITED about building our
monster and having him in our classroom.

We are located at 30.052914 degrees latitude and -81.81629 degrees longitude. The
temperature here can get into the high 90’s and sometimes can go into the 20’s (though
that doesn’t happen very often).

                                                           
If our class MONSTER used Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) he would
make our town a better place to live by working on Sustainable Development Goal #2 (Zero
Hunger)
. He would plant a garden using a variety of fruits and vegetables. As the crops
came in, he would distribute them to the various food kitchens/pantries and homeless
camps so that no one would have to go to bed hungry and would have the opportunity to eat
fresh fruits and vegetables.

Our monster’s moving parts are his hands so that he can work in his garden.

Illinois

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.

Joliet is located: Latitude: 41.534767 Longitude:-88.100028
Our temperature highs and lows are: High avg: 83.4 degrees in July and avg low: 16 degerees in January. 

A little bit about us. We are a Catholic school with just under 400 students total. Our current 4th grade class has a total of 32 students. We are departmentalized so we have a homeroom teacher who teaches us two subjects, (math and science), and two other teachers who teach us two subjects each. So, we get to move a lot during the day. We get to attend Mass each week with our school and once a month we have a special day called faith buddies. This year our buddies are all of the preschoolers! We have a tough job of setting good examples and high expectations for our little buddies!

As a sustainable goal focus we would focus on life on land. If it was possible for our monster to help make our land clean and thriving for all living organisms here on Earth. Example: the ability to recycle ANYTHING! or the ability to do powerful clean sweeps across the Earth to rid pollution, or other harmful things to our environment.  Moving part: Belly Button.

Ms. Hechler, 6th grade (Innovation Lab) and Ms. Hilligoss 6th grade (Social Studies class) Western CUSD 12, Kinderhook, Illinois. Our Classes 
In iLab, we get to use our creative side and create what we can. iLab lets us innovate and have fun. In social studies, we learn about the world around us, and what happened in the past, so we do not repeat history.

Latitude: 39.7023° N, Longitude: 91.1532°, 
We are next to the Mississippi River, Temperatures in the summer can range from upper 80s-105 degree Fahrenheit with high humidity. In the winter, our temperatures range from 0 degrees Fahrenheit to 30s. We see all different kinds of weather.

Student 1: Good Health and Well Being is no more cancers, and everyone can be healthy. Our monster would lick water or lick animals and make them all better. His tongue will lick the land, and grass will grow berries. All of the animals would have excellent health. He also can lick the water and make it clean all around the world. He will help out all of the land and water. He would make everyone healthy. If our Monster helped Good Health and Well Being everyone would be happy and healthy. I hope my Monster can make a good change.

Student 2: Every time the monster high fives someone who is sick, it heals them. When the monster smiles at someone, they lose their depression. When the monster pats someone on the back, it cures their cancer. When the monster gives you a fist pump, it cures your disease. When the monster compliments you, he cures your broken bones.

If our monster used Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math he would make our world a better place to live in by helping to end hunger. He can duplicate whatever he eats and he can move super-fast to help deliver the food. His ring can also recreate food to help deliver.

Missouri

Michelle Huseman's 4th grade. Welcome Monster Makers!! We are so excited to be involved in the Monster Project! Our class is one of two fourth grades' at Eugene Field Elementary in Hannibal, Missouri USA.
Hannibal is on the Mississippi River and is known as the boyhood home of Mark Twain. 
Mark Twain was the pen name of Samuel Clemens. Sam Clemens was the author of many famous books, including "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and "Life on the Mississippi."

Our Sustainable Development Goad is #2- Zero Hunger. We chose this because sometimes we have classmates that are hungry or don't get enough good food to eat.

                                                                     
To help with this problem our community has started a program called, "Super Supper." This is a balanced meal that's delivered to our school at the end of the day, for our students to eat before they go home.
Our monster will have a movable arm and hand to help with putting together the "Super Suppers" each day.

Not everybody was here when we took our photo. 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. Moving part: Arms.

Hello! We are Mrs. Baker's, Ms. Davis’s and Mrs. Rollin’s 2nd grade classes at Icard Elementary School in Icard, North Carolina, United States. Our latitude and longitude are: 35.7274° N, 81.4706° W. 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 have 16 students in each of our classes. Our school has over 250 students. We are really excited to participate in this project and getting to know more about our other monster makers! 

                                                    

Our Sustainable Development Goal is no poverty. Our monster would solve poverty by using his big tail and robotic construction tools to build houses for people. He would need help building houses, so he would hire people to help. He will also give out food and blankets to the people who needed them. He would help create jobs building houses, making food, making blankets and collecting trash. He might have a blanket cannon on his shoulder. Moving part: Arm.

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

I only see the classes once a week and we had a week off from Hurricane Dorian coming into our area, so we got a little behind. We are near a big Marine Corps Base - Camp Lejeune. Approximately 40% of our students are military dependents. Our school's mascot is the alligator - we call ourselves the Gators. Moving Part: Tongue.

Our monster would change the world by working on the sustainable development goals 12-15.
It would specifically eat plastic and turn it into a consumable product such as food or fuel. It would also turn the methane gas (farts) created by cows into clean energy. Moving Part?

Dana Hoff, Innovations STEM Academy Teacher, Meadowview Middle School, Sparta, Wisconsin.

Latitude/ Longitude: 43.9431° N, 90.8117° W
High/Low temperatures: High 56.4 Low 34.8

We attend Innovations STEM Academy (ISA). STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and math. Our classrooms aren’t your typical classroom. We have a campfire room that has a couches and two tv screens. The Think Lab is one of our other classrooms. The walls are lined with computers which we use for our projects, researching and math class. In the center of the classroom our “desks” are mobile and swivel. They are called Node chairs. Innovations STEM Academy is not like just any school. ISA is more projects and challenged based learning. We have Chromebooks for learning and research. We often are out in the community for learning purposes. STEM students will be participating in a lot of statewide competitions. ISA prepares students to be global thinkers and prepares kids for future life.


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 providing zero hunger and improving life below water
