The Arts & Scraps Family Engagement Event at Randall Elementary
School was held earlier this month.
At the beginning of the event, students and families were treated
to snacks and bottles of water to enjoy throughout the night. Mrs. Meszaros
welcomed all of the families to the event. Then, Nannette Kuhn, the Taylor
School District Parent Facilitator, read the beginning of the book, “I Need My
Monster,” by Amanda Noll.
In the book, the little boy's monster that lives under his bed
goes on a fishing vacation. The
little boy decides he needs a substitute monster. Several monsters
come, but the boy is not
satisfied with any of them. That is where the story was stopped
and the families were
introduced to Arts & Scraps.
Mr. D, from Arts & Scraps, gave a brief talk about recycling
and gave the families instructions for the evening's activities. The students
were each given a bag of scraps from Arts & Scraps that was filled with the
materials that they used to create a substitute monster for the boy. The
students were also given the opportunity to shop on the
Scrapmobile for free.
On the Scrapmobile, the students were able to gather more
materials to be able to continue the creativity at home. Next, the students
created a short story to go along with their monster and they told why the boy
didn't want their monster for the monster under
his bed.
The evening ended with Mrs. Kuhn finishing up the story about the
boy and his monster. Fun was had by all who attended.
