2. We started off our visit with the kindergarteners by reading the
story “ I need my monster” on their reading rug. They all seemed
very interested and interactive with their teacher.
3. We were then separated into groups where we each talked to the
children, asked them our questions and learned more about how they
interact and their opinions on what monsters are, what they look like,
what they do and so on. It was interesting to hear the things that they
had to say.
4. The favorite part of the story
for most of the girls in the
class was when the female
monster appeared.
The favorite part of story
for most of the boys was
when Gabe reappeared.
5. We were then sent to the art room where they discussed the
book further and were given their assignment to draw what
they thought a monster was.

9. They were then asked to create some sort of background to
show where their monster lived.

11. CONCLUSION
Overall it was a good experience, it gave us more of a hands on
approach to learn what children really think monsters are, rather then
just reading articles or books on other peoples findings. We really got
to interact with the children and saw how they establish connections
and how they react and their opinions to certain questions.
