Circleville Elementary School fifth-grade students have a great project to end their elementary school careers – the bottle biographies!
Students in all three fifth grades choose someone they want to learn more about. Some choose athletes or politicians; some contemporary musicians and others legendary ones. Geniuses, founding fathers, supreme court justices, heroes and she-roes! The students do their research and write a report or create a poster. They also create a model of their chosen individ using a two-liter soda bottle and other materials. The results are amazing!
Many build props, like Ariana Grande’s mic or Mozart’s piano. They show Martin Luther King at a podium or Olympian Simone Biles with her gold medal around her neck. All
