Talking Through Puppets During COVID-19

Funded May 28, 2020

We were able to surprise all our students by visiting each and everyone of their homes with these special PUPPETS. They named their new puppet and we sang songs together with them as we sat together on their front stoops.

The next day our google meet classroom computer screen shined with color as each student's enthusiastically came to "remote learning" class with their puppet friend. We sang our "Hello" song together with our puppets and then shared our feelings for the day from our class mood meter. It was emotional to see how many more students expressed their true feelings through their puppets. They explained how sad and lonely and mad they were about not being in the classroom with their teachers and friends. K328 brainstormed all the ways we could use our puppets to help us learn as well as all the places we could take our puppet and write about our adventures in a journal.

These puppets will always be a reminder of how brave and resilient they were during such a difficult time in Kindergarten.

Thanks for helping me put smiles on their faces!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Zacharis
