This month marked the return of the annual Felt Monster Project organized by Ms. Dougherty's Family and Consumer Science classes at Abington Middle School! Students in Ms. Frank's kindergarten class at Roslyn Elementary School, as well as a few other elementary classes across the District, had an opportunity to start the process by drawing and designing their own monster, inspired by the book "The Color Monster". Their designs will eventually be brought to life by the 8th grade students this spring during their sewing unit! #ASDProud
