Help me give my students multicultural puppets with movable mouths, which will help them practice speaking the language.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Esgrow's classroom raised $158
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
1. How will the specific items you’re requesting make a difference in their learning?
Puppets make speaking Mandarin more engaging and less intimidating.
They encourage creativity, improve pronunciation, and help students practice fluency in a fun, low-pressure way.
2. What are your goals for this project?
To build students’ confidence in speaking Mandarin through interactive practice. The project will make learning enjoyable while reinforcing tone, sentence structure, and collaboration.
3. What makes your students special?
My students are creative, curious, and eager to learn. They embrace challenges and thrive in interactive activities, making puppets a perfect tool to support their language growth.
More than three‑quarters of 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
