Cluster Creations

Help me give my students the ingredients for ornaments and body butter for an entrepreneurship experience.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Arnold's classroom raised $521

This project is fully funded

My Project

I love how resilient and kind my students are. Each student brings a unique personality and ability to class each day. It is such an honor to be their teacher.

The materials used in this project will allow each student to show their personality through the creation of homemade body butter and holiday ornaments.

Academics will be used in this project through the process of making body butter. First, there is the measuring of ingredients, checking of temperatures and observation of chemical changes the body butter will go. Please help!

Mrs. Arnold Kenwood Academy Grades 9-12
