1st Grade- Origami Dog

First graders learned about Origami by creating Origami Dogs. I began this lesson by reading Cool Dog, School Dog; it is such a cute book. We then created the dog heads by using 6 x 6 inch paper. Here is a quick tutorial.

Students then decorated the dog face with pencil and then went over the lines with marker and colored in. Next we glued the head to a light blue piece of paper. I talked to the students about where to glue the head depending if they want their dog to be sitting or standing. Students then added a dog body and details using pencil, crayons, and markers.
