My Project

My students love hands on learning! We love to bring a story to life using puppets, music, sound effects, and costumes.

We need new hand puppets to bring to life a story on the forest and all the animals that live there.

Students are studying the forest, it's animals, and the pollination process within the forest. We want to bring to life all their learning with a student led performance!

Frogs, squirrels, butterflies, OH MY. We are excited to see how this project will be brought to life on stage.
