Help me give my students a puppet center where they can use their imagination and express themselves creatively.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Kawaguchi's classroom raised $446

My Project

My Kindergarteners are eager and creative learners. They love to socialize and learn through hands-on learning opportunities, exploration and PLAY. We are currently in need of puppets for our puppet center.

A puppet center will provide an inviting and safe place for my students to become creative storytellers.

Our puppet center will help my students become better readers (reading comprehension), writers (create stories), speakers (expressive oral language), and collaborators (working cooperatively with others) through storytelling.

Our puppet center will also help inspire students to create their own puppets, props, and puppet shows. It will be a place where students can be risk-takers and express themselves creatively.

Please help us ignite our imaginations through storytelling with puppets.
