Primary Standard Materials:

You MUST use these materials!  Your costume will be constructed mainly out of the above items.  Bring your materials in to class in a SHOEBOX WITH A LID (or similar) labeled with the names of your group members and you may leave them in my classroom.  If you do not bring them in a labeled box, you cannot leave them in my room.  Materials are due in class by Monday, November 15.


Unique materials:

            The sky’s the limit!  Just make sure you get any other materials APPROVED BY ME by DAY TWO. (See below.)
Examples of unique materials could include crayons, markers, rulers, glue, glitter, aluminum foil, plastic wrap, paper plates, duct tape, costume jewelry, balloons… you name it, it could work!
