My Project

This project will help my students in their literacy development. These storytelling kits will help my students understand stories and keep them engaged and motivated. They love to use puppets and props while retelling and acting out stories. I’ve included some of their favorite titles.

These materials will help bring literature alive and make it more meaningful to all my students.

I teach a diverse group of preschoolers. My class consists of three to five year olds. Some are typically developing and some have special needs. Any support is very much appreciated by myself and my amazing students!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
