Bottle Buddies - Black History Month

Funded Jan 25, 2023

My students had a great time using the materials provided to us via Donors Choose. We used the felt and cloth material to create clothing for our Black History Month Bottle Buddies. The students got creative with the clothing such as making extravagant dresses for their Black role models, using felt to create tools such as baseball bats and boxing shorts, and the Styrofoam balls were the perfect size for the heads!

When my students first saw the materials they were amazed by how much material we had to use and were so excited to get started on their project and bring their designs to life!

As the school year comes to end, and my 5th graders prepare for Promotion and middle school, we culminate the year with an art piece to decorate our Auditorium. We are currently finishing up our Andy Warhol Pop Art paintings!”
