Option A: The Social Savvy Sharer
While your project is live, pick out a few favorite graphics from our collection — then share on social media. And don’t worry, you can choose the social platform and schedule that works for you. Whether it’s 1 Facebook and 1 TikTok post, Instagram stories, or a couple of solid tweets. Whatever you’re most comfortable with is the way to go!

Option B: The Group Chat Go-Getter
Social media not your thing? Take your project to the group chat instead. You can customize, copy, and paste the message we drafted for you below into a text or an email thread with 3-5 friends. Make sure to personalize your message — and include your project link so your circle can easily support their favorite teacher (you!).
Option C: The "Easy as 1-2-3"
If you want a way to let your friends, family, and wider network know about your project, consider this option your Back-to-school triumvirate. Complete these three steps together to give your project the momentum it needs:
- Send a personalized email to one person who cares about you and your classroom, asking them to chip in if they can. Include your project link!
- Post 1x about your project on your favorite social media platform. Include your project link!
- Send one group email to celebrate the special day. Did we mention yet to include your project link?

Whichever approach you choose, know that your 5 minutes will be well spent in sharing out the awesome work you and your students are doing. And remember, a warm hello, your project link, and a giant thank you goes a long way!
