My Students
How wonderful it would be to invite children to speak, create situations, dramatize and have fun!
Our students are a vibrant bunch of NY students who are full of energy.
So often they channel this energy to meet our ever increasing expectations. We would like to provide them with the opportunity to channel their creative energy into acting out stories that they've heard or they make up.
My Project
We have spent a lot of time in our class focusing on story elements and role playing. We would like to provide our students with an opportunity to act out stories that they have heard and stories they create. Using these puppets will help them keep in mind the variety of emotions characters could have.
Students will gain confidence in expressing dialog and develop a better understanding of story elements such as characters, setting, problem and solution.
We have a program at our school that emphasizes the importance of identifying emotions and dealing with difficult emotions.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
