My Project

My Kindergarten students are eager students. They want to grasp the concepts that we tackle in class--and they are learning in a language that is new to them: English. In the coming year, we will be working on language students will need for making friends and solving problems in the classroom and on the playground.

We need puppets and a puppet theater to achieve our goal.

Using puppets will lower students' anxiety as they are learning new language skills. The rug will give us a perfect area to work in small groups or to watch a puppet show. Thank you for considering our project!
