My jungle bulletin board was missing something.

Monkeys.

So, I asked the Grade 4/5 teacher, Queen Troll, if she would be willing to make monkeys with her art class for my library. I showed her a picture of Kerri & Lindsay's "Teacher Bits and Bobs" paper bag monkeys and she said they would be done by the end of the first week of school.



On Friday, I entered the library to find this waiting for me.


It was like a scene out of WWII movie.

The carnage of monkeys was unnerving.


And...


There wasn't just one class-worth of monkeys. Oh, no. Queen Troll had all four art classes make monkeys.


I had to find homes for 80+ monkeys.



It turned out to be a humorous adventure as I spent the next three hours spreading monkeys around the school!



They spilled over into the office and upstairs in the Amazon Pod open area.


So many monkeys!
