Puppets, puppets, lots of puppets!

 It's cold outside, or it's raining, or you can't go out because you are sick. Why not make a puppet to bring to class next week? All you need is your imagination, some extra materials you have lying around the house and lots and lots of glue and cello-tape! Make a funny puppet, a pretty puppet, a crazy puppet, and bring it so we can all see it. We will take a picture and post it here, or make a video of you introducing your puppet so everyone can see how much you know already! Here's a picture with some ideas, but you can make it however you like. Please, do not buy any new materials, use only recycled stuff. Have fun!

Hotz dago kanpoan, edo euria egiten du, edo ezin zara atera gaixorik zaudelako. Zergatik ez duzu txontxongilo bat egiten datorren astean gelara ekartzeko? Behar dituzun gauza bakarrak zure imajinazioa, etxean dauzkazun materialak eta pegamentu eta zelo pilo bat dira! Egin txontxongilo dibertigarriak, edo politak, edo txoroak, eta ekarri gelara guztiok ikusteko. Argazki bat aterako diogu eta hemen ipiniko dugu, edo zure aurkezpenaren bideo bat egingo dugu, etxean zenbat dakizun erakusteko. Hemen argazki bat ipini dut ideia batzuekin, baina nahi duzun moduan egin dezakezu. Mesedez, material berririk ez erabili, bakarrik birziklatzeko gauzak edo bota behar duzuna. Ondo pasa!

Fuera hace frío, o llueve, o tienes que quedarte en casa porque estás enfermo o enferma. ¿Por qué no haces una marioneta y la traes a clase la semana que viene? Todo lo que necesitas es imaginación, materiales que tengas por casa y un montón de pegamento o celo. Haz una marioneta divertida, o bonita, o loca, y tráela para que la veamos en clase. Le sacaremos una foto y la pondremos aquí, o te grabaremos presentando tu marioneta para que en casa vean cuánto sabes. Por favor, usa solo material de reciclaje, o cosas que fueras a tirar, no compres nada nuevo para hacerla. ¡Diviértete!
