Their faces lit up with excitement as they realized they would become real authors and illustrators of their own books.\r\n\r\n\r\nThese resources have encouraged collaboration, creativity, and confidence. Students share materials, give feedback on each other's illustrations, and help one another learn new Cricut techniques. Having the additional Cricut machine has made a huge difference—more students can create simultaneously, keeping the excitement and energy flowing.\r\n\r\nNext, we plan to host a \"Young Authors Celebration\" where each student will present their finished book to classmates. This project has not only elevated our writing center—it has inspired a love of storytelling, design, and publishing that will stay with them for years to come.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and giving them the tools to share their creativity with the world.
