Puppet Show Project
Funded May 10, 2021I can't describe how grateful I am for your support. Watching my students this year, blossom and grow while creating stories using puppets, was a true joy. One student in particular who came into my classroom, head down, only wishing to disappear, wrote me a note at the end of the semester saying, "I had so much fun with puppets, and liked that I made friends. I now have two friends." Puppets allowed these students to relearn skills that were lost during COVID, and it is thanks to you! You provided the supplies to help continue to support students, and we all are grateful!”

Building WRITING SKILLS in the Drama Classroom!
Funded Oct 23, 2020First let me say thank you again! I truly cannot thank you enough for all your help. In a time when teaching is so different from what we all know, we are constantly looking for ways to help our students feel connected, cared for, and engaged. These new desks have been invaluable for helping my students work on their ChromeBooks, create masks and puppets, write in our journals, and offering flexibility at a safe distance. Flexibility to create good drama, communicate in a new way, and learn together.
One of the first things we do in my classes is we create some tools, masks or puppets and talk about how we communicate with body language. Because of your generosity, we had these small personalized desks, giving us the ability to work, then move the desks to one side to stand and have "bubble space" to warm-up, move and practice our body language with the masks/puppets. As we continue through the term we will use the desks as we write scripts, be creative, and learn; thank you again for helping make this a reality.”
