Day 1:
While students are doing the steps below I will call students up, one at a time to fill shakers and tape tops on.
1. I will hand out one white sheet of paper to each student, then assign partners for them to cut red and green paper.
2. They will glue the colored paper on the ends of the white paper. DOT, DOT, DOT, NOT A WHOLE LOT.
3. Cut out pre-drawn ovals for the eyes and glue on.
4. Cut a triangle after tracing with stencil.
Day 2:

7. Checking for Understanding:
Ask the students what they need to do at the end of the demonstration.
Also go step by step when making the shaker, make sure no one is behind.
