TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID… ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “My students were completely engaged with this lesson!! They LOVED the origami folding more than I thought they would - they were very focused on getting the folds right so their dragon eye would open right. They really loved the project and were so proud of the finished pieces.” - Carol J. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “My students were super excited to complete the dragon eyes. We used markers, glitter glue, and copy paper. Some struggled with the folding but class "experts" helped with struggling students. We followed up this activity with a drawing of a dragon colored with colored pencils.” - Julie D. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “This was a great resource to teach students how to fold their origami eye upon completion! Students really enjoyed this project.” - Amanda S. I love seeing student artwork!
