Origami and Paper-Making

Third and fourth graders learned about the math behind origami. They practiced making origami cups, boats, and dogs. They even learned how to make a fortune teller and use it as a fun study guide.

The third grade continued their lesson with the learning about the science of paper-making. They constructed a deckle for their mold and produced hand-made paper, adding real flower petals, grass, and leaves. They also learned how other types of paper are made (hint: elephants and marble). Ask them about it! 

Next week both classes will go on a field trip to the Japanese Festival.
