FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Nesbitt's classroom raised $451

My Project
Building oral language is a large part of our pre-k year. Our nursery rhyme puppets will allow students to build their language, while making connections to characters as well as rhyming skills.
The puppets will help bring the nursery rhymes to life inside the classroom.
The puppet holder will create a space for the puppets to be kept, on display all while keeping the classroom organized.
Oral language development and phonemic awareness skills are the building blocks to creating strong, independent readers and bridging the gap between pre-k and kindergarten readiness.
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
