Create a Cute Dog Ornament with Sharpie Art and Cozy Furry Fillings
One of my fondest childhood memories is making ornaments during the holidays. Inspired by that nostalgia, I wanted to create something special for my dog, Elsa, and decided to start a new tradition: making a personalized dog ornament each year. It’s simple, fun, and captures a little piece of your pet’s personality. I used a clear ornament, decorated it with Sharpie markers, and filled it with a bit of Elsa’s fluffy fur.

Bringing Culture to Life: Helping Students Find Their Voice Through Cultural Exploration
When I introduced the cultural appreciation unit in language arts, I wanted more than just a typical assignment. I aimed to create a project in which students could actively explore their own cultural backgrounds, connect with their heritage, and express what culture means to them. The results were inspiring. Through research, note-taking, and creative expression, students not only learned about their cultures but also developed strong explanatory writing skills.
