Teaching Puppetry Skills to the Students from Tongzhou Model School in China- Summer 2015

 Sonoma Academy TA's had fun this summer working with our visitors from China ages 11-18!  Students learned how to make jumping jack puppets and start a large coyote puppet for the school. Teaching assistants helped make the process move smoothly. There was a lot of excited energy in the room. Freddie Lambright, a student at the Chicago Art Institute and mentee helped out for an afternoon as a teaching assistant.
