Deep Dive on the FocusedKids Puppets

In this one-hour workshop for teachers, Amanda Petersen models how puppets can be used in the classroom to grab students’ attention and foster a sense of awe and curiosity that paves the way for deeper, more effective learning. She shares ways that teachers can use puppets to build safe relationships with students, enhance engagement, and add more joy to daily routines. Teachers have the opportunity to practice using their own puppets and see a FocusedKids lesson demonstration.
