One favorite project has been our storytelling circle, where students work in small groups to create and perform short stories using the puppets. Students practice sequencing, dialogue, and expressive language while bringing their characters to life. The puppets have also been especially helpful during role-play scenarios, allowing students to explore feelings, problem-solving, and kindness in a safe and engaging way.\r\n\r\nWhen the puppets were revealed, the room immediately filled with excitement and smiles. Students gasped, clapped, and eagerly asked if they could try them on. Many of them instantly began giving the puppets names and voices. For some quieter students, the puppets became an instant confidence booster—they were more willing to speak and participate once they had a puppet \"helping\" them.\r\n\r\nNext, students will use the puppets to retell familiar stories and then move on to writing their own original puppet scripts. We will connect this work to our writing standards by focusing on beginning, middle, and end, as well as character traits and dialogue. Eventually, students will perform their puppet shows for classmates, building presentation skills, collaboration, and confidence. Thanks to the donors, these puppets will continue to be a meaningful learning tool throughout the year.","fullyFundedDate":1760907499152,"projectUrl":"project/literacy-alive-with-puppets/9791898/","projectTitle":"Literacy Alive with Puppets","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Ventura","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2330175_orig.jpg?crop=1364,1364,x203,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1659202803342","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2330175"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_128336","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":362,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":11,"percentWhite":10,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":72,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":50.0,"schoolId":128336,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Forest Station Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Forest Station Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nebraska/omaha-public-schools/forest-station-elementary-school/128336"}
