Customer Review –
My students love this resource! I used it initially as a small group lesson and had items listed on the sticks. We acted out the story with props and the puppets. I then placed the puppets and some of the items in a bin by our Quiet Cube. Students can now go to the Quiet Cube when needed and decide how they want to calm down. Great addition to my classroom!
Customer Review –
Oh my goodness this was perfect! I thought okay this is quite simply – we just make a few calming strategy puppets but the puppet show narrative that you included was so much extra! I divided the class into groups and each one had to act out the script with one person the narrator and the others using the puppets. So much fun and I loved the fact that each calming strategy was explained with how it was helpful for the character. Incredible! Highly Recommend!
