My Project

My students love creativity. Help them explore conversation and social skills with puppets. Puppets will allow my students opportunities to practice conversation and problem solving in a safe environment. They already enjoy play acting and puppets will enhance the play. We do a lot of purposeful play already and this will give us another avenue to explore. Play areas we already have include a kitchen, puzzles, blocks of many varieties, a tool bench, play doh, water color painting, dress up clothes, board games, bowling, art supplies, reading nook, tablets, and a doll house.
