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.
(Sorry — I forgot to take picture of the students making origami.)
In our community of learners, we help each other learn like CHAMPIONS!! There is always another way to try and a friend to help. Believe in the power of YET! We CHALLENGE our minds to CHANGE our minds. And it is ok to be still and quiet.
