Multicultural Box Project
During multicultural week, third grade will be learning about
different countries in Europe. As part of our learning process, we
will be making a “ Cereal Box Project”. Each student will be
assigned a country in Europe and they will design their own cereal
box. A picture of examples is included and more examples will be
shown in class. This project gives you the opportunity to really
show your creativity. Contact me if you have any questions.
Cover the cereal box with cool paper (as if you were wrapping a
gift). Paper covering may include wrapping paper, newspaper,
construction paper, typing paper, etc. The information on the box
must include all of the following to receive full credit:
