My Students

Our school is in a suburban area. The students we serve come from different backgrounds and cultures and include several English Language Learners and about 20% of students who live in poverty.

Students at our school are willing to put in the work it takes to be successful because they want to succeed.

They work hard and have a growth mindset in everything they do. Families and the community have a strong bond and strive to make education a priority.

My Project

The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students will allow for them to create puppet plays to showcase to a varied audience.

The materials will be used by the students to create 2 1/2 foot puppets that students will use in performances of their very own!

The fabric, stuffing, and sewing supplies will be used by students to construct their very own puppets, while applying accurate measurement skills. The balls will be used as a head, creating an opening for the mouth.

Students will engage in authentic writing to develop plays that can be performed, teaching our school based audience about topics related to social emotional growth, good hygiene, and good health! Their creativity will shine as they bring their writing to life in front of our audience of students and parents!
