My Project

As the Performing Arts teacher for all the students in our school, there is a great impact for what we do in my class. Puppets help students communicate, especially those who are shy about being in front of others. Communication skills and vocabulary are developed while using puppets. Many students are struggling with ways to appropriately communicate after being confined during COVID-19. Using puppets, whether human or animal, help students talk about difficult situations are emotions they may be feeling. Puppets also help students foster creativity, imagination and team work.
