Our UCE Kindergarteners and UTMS 8th graders teamed up on a monster of a project! Kindergarteners created their own monsters, and the 8th graders brought them to life by creating and sewing stuffed replicas. The 8th graders then presented them to our Kindergarteners, read books, and drew together. It was an incredible collaborative project between our schools! Thank you to Mr. Dickey and Mrs. Ochall for planning this wonderful project! #BearcatConnect
