My Students

Have you ever seen a child light up with joy when they realize they are going to be the star of a puppet show?

My students love to become actively engaged in learning.

Retelling stories using puppets is a creative and exciting way for them to increase their understanding of concepts such as character, setting, and plot. Acting out stories also allows them to gain a better understanding of sequencing and beginning, middle and end.

My Project

My students will use the complete set of puppets to enhance the learning process by working cooperatively to retell stories. All students will have an opportunity to play the main characters and be the stars of the show. This will not only increase their literacy skills, but will also empower them as learners and increase self confidence.

I strive to create a learning environment that allows students to become actively involved in making meaning in artistic and creative ways.

Your generous donations will provide my students with resources that will enable them to become the characters in the stories and gain a better understanding of important concepts for their literacy development.
