- Mixed-age differences: Pair older students as “paper mentors” and “word coaches.” Rotate helpers so it stays fair.
- Paper drying time: Pre-dry some sheets in advance as backup for assembly, and let student-made sheets dry for a later “swap-in” if needed.
- Mess management: Contain pulp station with trays + table covers; assign a rotating “Earth Helper” to manage wipes and water.
- Emotional sensitivity: Allow private writing; sharing can be optional or done in pairs only.
- Overwhelm with decoration: Offer “choose 2 decorations only” to keep it meaningful and manageable.
