My Project
On behalf of preK through fifth grade students, I am requesting a variety of puppets to enhance our read alouds in the library. Many of these characters come from classic children's stories, like the 3 Little Pigs or There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly. I am also requesting animal puppets for students to create their own stories!
By adding in puppets, we are making our read alouds even more interactive!
Students will also get to use these puppets to create their own fractured fairy tales to share with their classmates. Thank you for supporting our school's project.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
