Animal Habitat Project due April 20th

Dear parents:
We are beginning a habitat Science project. Each student will research an animal at school. AT HOME with your help, they will create a shoe box display that will include the animal, its home, dangers, and food. Anything may be used to create this.  Students will be allowed to take home their personal scissors, glue stick, tissue paper, pipe cleaners, and construction paper to complete this project. I would recommend hot glue as it holds up best.
The project will be due on Monday, April 20th. I want everyone to have plenty of time and want to take into account when paydays might fall in case you need to purchase anything. Most projects in the past have been created with discarded toys and very cheap supplies.
PLEASE DO NOT SPEND A LOT OF MONEY!
 I have provided pictures of examples from previous students. Be creative and have fun with your student! J (The project will be sent home with the student after a period of hallway display)
