Performing With Frog and Toad Puppets

For some time now our class has been enjoying reading chapters from Arnold Lobel's classic Frog and Toad books. After some thoughtful discussions of their opposite character traits, the children made Frog and Toad paper bag puppets and performed completely student created, scripted and directed shows!  (Full disclosure- they were more improvisational than scripted).  It was impressive to watch the children dramatize the distinct personalities and dialogue that they remembered from the stories.
