My Project

My students are super enthusiastic about fairy tales, we have been reading multiple versions of various fairy tales this year, and they love comparing and contrasting the stories.

Having fairy tale puppets as well as STEM kits would really take our learning to a whole new level.

The puppets would encourage students to get in touch with their creative sides as well as test prior knowledge with retelling the stories.The STEM kits would have students work together to solve a problem, promoting team work as well as developing skills in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
