Our amazing pencil holder creations

Anna from Eco Solutions came and helped room 15 make wonderful pencil holders. We reused material, bottle caps, strings, buttons, tin cans and cardboard. With the help of Mr Werder and Anna we were able to finish them. There were cats, people, aliens, monsters and dragons. We had lots of fun making them. THANKS ANNA!!! (By Alyssa-Blog Reporter)
