Maggie facilitated 2 puppetry workshops for ECE teachers at Sunset CC preschool. In the first workshop on October 3, 6-8pm we ate Indian food and then dove right into making puppets. Using my massive piles of fabric, foam, and of course, hot glue. I think we all got stronger skin on our fingers after that workshop. See what the teachers made below.
After the puppets were completed we discovered how to use them in the classroom. We played some clowning exercises. We learned about focus, holding moments, and sharing moments. Then we split up into groups and created our own puppet scenes.
Thanks so much for your participation and enthusiasm. I hope to see all the teachers at Sunset CC again soon.
These workshops were made possible by the Neighborhood Small Grants Program (Vancouver Foundation). Thanks to them too!!
