Monsters have Invaded Harkreader Hills

In preparation for their next writing project, the celebs needed a little bit of inspiration! They all chose the same basic supplies that best fit their fashionable style. They used those basic supplies, pipe cleaners, googly eyes, pom-poms, and tongue depressors, to create their mini monster. The monsters will become their side-kick over the next week. They will document it's appearance, likes/dislikes, habits and explorations. Each day the celebs will write a Pat Pavelka Post-it paragraph about their monster. When completed, they will have written their longest informative writing piece of the year! Be sure to check back next week to read all about these inspirational monsters!

The celebrities of Harkreader Hills have been busy discovering all the interesting arti-"facts" about Meso-America. Their journeys have taken them from the Olmec all the way to the Aztecs.
