Kevin Henkes Puppets for Retelling


Students had a wonderful time creating characters puppets from Kevin Henkes books for homework. They had the opportunity to pick their favorite characters and retell the story using the puppets they created at home. Children practiced with others for a short time before their presentations. The students know these stories inside out so having their puppets act out their lines was no problem at all.

There are a few shows we still have to see and are enjoying each of every minute of them.
