Biography Report
Dear Parents, for the next several weeks, we will be studying about Biographies. Your child will be required to complete two outside projects. The first will be a written report. The second will be a bottle buddy. In addition, all students will be required to present their PowerPoint presentations to the class.
In case your child, lost his or her paper explaining what to do, you can always print an extra one for them. |

7. Wrap the clothing and glue around your bottle.
8. Construct arms for the bottle person by using pipe cleaners, cardboard, or other items and fix (glue) them in place. (They can be bendable or made out of paper)
