The audience for the puppet show
Our last class, for this school year, we had a little party and invited the parents and families of the kids. For the last two weeks, the kids have been working on their handmade puppets, and then with Daisy, working on the character development and 'plot.'

The kids divided themselves in small groups, and each presented their plays.
