“We were planning to show students images of puppeteers like Poncili Creacion, Bread & Puppet Theatre, Jim Henson, etc. to inspire them to make 2-3 different kinds of puppets.”

Plans Interrupted
Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, we were unable to share our project with students this year. We were planning to begin by handing out journals and have students answer a new prompt each week: What’s your favorite story? Who’s the best storyteller in your family? What makes a story fun to listen to?
