My Project

I use a lot of puppets in my primary grade music classes to help learn songs. The students enjoy learning a song from a puppet friend, especially my ENL students! Even my older students always enjoy looking at the puppets in the music room and asking me questions about them.

Help my students by providing more puppet friends in the music classroom!

We currently need a raccoon, wolf, worm, owl, and blue jay puppet to help us learn new singing games and stories in the music classroom. These puppet friends will be a welcome addition to our music room.
