Mrs. Desbien's classroom raised $363

It's as Easy as ABC: Alphabet Hand Puppets

My students need alphabet puppets to help in learning the letters and sounds and a stand to hold the puppets.

My Students

Before we can learn, we have to be engaged in the lesson. These puppets will grab our attention and allow us to be both learners and presenters. As storytellers, our learning will grow and grow.

We are small in size and number, but we are big in learning potential.

We work hard at learning our basic skills and our teacher is constantly looking for ways to catch and hold our attention in authentic and meaningful ways in order to create a lifelong love of learning.

My Project

I am requesting a set of 26 machine washable cuddly soft alphabet puppets with working mouths and arms and activity guide, featuring whimsical characters children will loveâ€"from an adorable alligator for A to a zany zebra for Z! Each big puppet has an uppercase and lowercase letter sewn on the front, so children learn to associate each character with a letter. . Each is approximately 12".

This is a non consumable project with puppets purchased from a company known for durable products.

These puppets will be used in this classroom for years to come and the impact will truly be a lasting legacy to early literacy.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
