My Project

Kindergarten students need lots of practice retelling stories in order to meet the grade-level reading standards. Practicing with puppets is a fun way to get them to elaborate. Many shy students, as well as English Language Learners, find the courage to practice retelling when allowed to use puppets.

My students would love to have a puppet retelling center!

I have purchased several puppets through the years. Now, I need a puppet tree to display them and allow easy access for my students to use them during center time. We would be so grateful to have help with purchasing this fun center.
