There are many ways to introduce the characters to your students! Here are a few ideas teachers have shared with us:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Greetings!<\/b><\/p>\n

The puppet is used to greet children as they arrive every morning.<\/span><\/p>\n

Circle Time<\/b><\/p>\n

Each day a different student is selected to help the puppet participate in circle time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Storytime<\/b><\/p>\n

Along with the books starring the characters, puppets are used to help tell the stories.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Puppet Show<\/b><\/p>\n

Simple puppet shows are used to discuss day-to-day topics such as: classroom etiquette; using good manners; waiting your turn, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you know?<\/b> There are many useful resources in your <\/span>teacher portal <\/span><\/a>to help include the characters in your everyday activities.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
