Timber Trail Elementary second grade students created “Biography Bottles” in the likeness of a famous person they chose to study and research. Using 2-liter soda bottles and other select craft supplies, the students created unique biography bottles of figures like Queen Elizabeth I, King Tut and Helen Keller. Incorporating their research, writing and presentation skills, students delivered a biography slide show presentation to their classmates.
