In 6th grade, our next project is our annual Trash to Treasure!! Trash to Treasure is costume design and construction project where groups create 2 costumes using only recyclable materials. I provide them 1 t-shirt and they provide the rest! The students always love this project as it affords them the opportunity to be extremely creative. That being said, they are responsible for collecting recyclable materials to create their costumes. Please allow your student to save clean materials in a big trash bag, maybe in the garage or other place that is out of the way.
In addition to this, I mentioned to the students that it would be a huge help if they could bring a package of mini-glue stix. I've provided a list of "needs" in my classroom for this project, as well as others, we will be engaging in throughout the year! Thank you so much for your help and support in any way. If you do not feel comfortable sending supplies, please do not feel obligated. If it is easier for you to send a monetary donation in lieu of supplies, I'm happy to purchase needed supplies.
Needs List:
- glue stix (mini and regular)
- glue guns
- kleenex tissues
- pencils
- crayons
- markers
- large white/manilla construction/sketch paper
- rolls of foil
