Lesson 8: The Dragon's Tail



Time saving activity:

Have the classroom teacher complete the “others” Post-it™ notes for the tail of the wall dragon. The scales for this lesson use Post-it™ notes (see curriculum). Make sure you leave a sufficient number of dragon scales (Post-it™ notes) for students. If the teacher completes this activity, record 15 minutes on the “Teacher Monthly Time and Effort Record.”
