My Project

Our students are some of the most amazing at our elementary. We are a Title I school with so much potential! I have witnessed growth not only on academic levels but social and emotional. It is no secret that the past two years have affected our educational system.

Through the art of dramatic play, students will learn how to communicate with one another as well as build confidence.

Puppets help students to retell stories, develop language, and give students a "voice" of characters. By offering a chance at dramatic play students will gain confidence.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
