Me Box/Bag Project

Due: August 12, 2016 (Friday)

We are excited to begin our new school year and to get to know each and every one of our classmates.
Please help us get to know you a little quicker by doing the following:
1. Bring in a decorated box/bag. If you choose to decorate a box, then please select a box no
bigger than the average shoebox size.
2. Fill it with five (5) things to tell about yourself.
3. Write one (1) paragraph explaining why you picked the items.
We want your box/bag to represent you- use paint, polka dots, spray paint, color, add flowers, ribbons,
footballs, basketball, or whatever you have!
Make sure the box/bag can close completely with the five (5) things in it. You can share pictures or items
about pets, favorite hobbies, snacks (not to eat at school), family members, even likes and dislikes. Dont
bring things like a PSP, Nintendo DS, things that can get lost, broken, or stolen. Bring the empty box that
goes to a game if you like, but not the actual game. We cant fit a basketball or football in our box/bag, so
bring a small one or a soft/safe one instead.
You can be creative and have fun sharing about you!
Sincerely,

Mrs. Cruz
