Buddies with Mrs. Loose's 2nd grade and Mrs. N. Carter's 4th grade students. 4th graders each drew a monster and wrote a descriptive essay, using careful details to explain how to draw and color their monster. 2nd grade buddies had to draw and color their partner’s monster without looking at the picture. They could only use the descriptive essay to guide them. Here are some of the results! 👻🎃
