Fandango Puppets and Folktales

Miss Ruth's InterAct Club from Century High School spent the morning with us. First, we read a Folktale called The Great Ball Game, which is a story about a bat and asks the question, are bats birds or mammals? Then, we wrote a Folktale with our Teen Teachers. We answered questions like, How did the zebra get it's stripes? Why do opossums hang upside down? Why do lionesses catch the food? Why do spiders spin webs? and many others. The stories were delightful. Last, we made 'Fandango puppets', which are paper bag puppets made to look like characters. Each team presented their story and puppets. It was so much fun to see how creative the stories were. We loved our new friends from Century! Thank you Miss Ruth and students. We had a great time and learned a lot!
