our classroom monster

Our principal responded by sending us a package that include a letter, an "our monster" page and some monster posters. 
He also sent us a Classroom Monster to watch over 
our class and report back to him.

We were over the moon excited and got busy right away naming our monster. Fricky, Blueberry and Three Eyes were all in the running, but Joe was the winning name.

workshop times ever after the arrival of Joe. 
We are looking forward to Joe's first report.
