My Project

As we begin the second semester of the school year, I’m planning something special to celebrate my students’ hard work and creativity! We will begin working on an animal writing project, and I want to honor their work with a fun Author Celebration. This event will give them the chance to showcase their work, sign autographs for their classmates, and take home keepsakes to remember this moment. To make it extra memorable, I’m hoping to get some neon animal print party hats for a fun twist. I’d also love to include drawstring backpacks for them to carry everything home, DIY hats they can decorate and sign, and gold stars to add a festive touch to the celebration. With your support, we can make this a joyful experience for my students, one they’ll treasure forever. Thank you for helping me bring this project to life!
