What educators are saying
My students really enjoyed making the cicada foldable! Great end-of-the-year time filler that met a standard and was relevant to cicada season where we live!
I used it as a time filler and exposure to the upcoming cicada event in our area. It was easy to prepare and the kids loved it!
