The entire third grade at Cedar Ridge Elementary made "apple monsters" for an art project. Sherry Davis, a third grade teacher, shared how she came up with the idea. " I was mowing mow-ing my lawn and I hit a branch and a bunch of apples fell on my head. I thought to myself what could I do with these apples ap-ples because I had tons of them. I remembered when I was a little girl that my mother was a den leader in Scouts and they had made Scouts or something with apple heads. It was Halloween Hal-loween time, so I thought we ought to make monsters out of the apple heads," she stated. The hardest part of the project for the students was peeling the apples. Each student stu-dent created their own face. Sherry and her husband made little stands for each monster which the students sanded and painted. Once the students finished their heads, they stuck their apples on the stands to dry and shrivel up. Prior to the art project the students decided what they wanted their monster to look like. After the apples were dry, which took about a week and a half, students dressed them with the help of their moms. Cumorah Havei made Frankenstein's bride. She designed de-signed it all by herself and admitted the hardest part was peeling the apple. Cody Nhal-lan Nhal-lan made Frankenstein's mother. moth-er. For the costume, he made a black dress and got a pink cape. Cody enjoyed the project and commented on his monster, "I feel great about it." Each student created their own apple face.
