Year 1 - Making Sock Puppets!

Before the break, Year One students were learning about instructions, specifically how to write their own! To do this, we decided to make sock puppets! We began by brainstorming the type of puppet they were going to make as well as their puppet's name. Some ideas included a mermaid, a dinosaur, an axolotl, and many more creative ideas! Then, students described what their puppets were going to look like, using adjectives and new vocabulary.

Finally, it was time to make our puppets! Students verbalized the process as they were constructing their puppets!

"I am using orange felt to make my tiger stripes!" - Ruby

"I am using a red pipe cleaner to make the tongue for my frog. Then, I am using black paper to make a fly on his tongue!" - Qmari

"I am using blue paper to make the spikes on my dinosaur's back!" - Abel

"I used a red marker to make my hat" - Cairo

"I am using different size googly eyes to make funny eyes on my puppet" - Naomi

We then used the sock puppets in some imaginative play in the afternoon! Great work!
