Once again this year I was invited to show Mrs. Crow's 4th Grade class how to fold origami cranes. This post is for Mrs. Crow and her students in Room 12 at Jefferson Elementary School.
Mrs. Crow's class finished reading the book Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes. It is the story about Sadako Sasaki. This story was one of the reasons I started folding paper cranes.
As usual Mrs. Crow's class was wonderful!
They listened . . . they folded . . . they asked questions . . .
A few of the kids who already knew how to fold a paper crane or caught on quickly helped the others. I had an opportunity to tell them about my 1000 paper crane project and they learned how to fold a paper crane.
Every student fold a paper crane.
Hopefully some of them will be looking at this post. They did such and awesome job.
I wish I could post pictures of their faces . . . I so enjoy their smiles.
This year Mrs. Crow has decided to have her students fold a few more cranes and make mobiles out of them. She wants to take them to a cancer ward to display.
An ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds 1000 paper cranes will
be granted a wish by a crane - such as a long life or recovery from an illness
or injury. It will be room 12's wish for recovery for people who are fighting cancer.
PEACE . . . LOVE . . . CRANES! She just happened to wear the perfect shirt today for my blog. :)
Thank you Mrs. Crow for sharing you wonderful students with me! Thank you for everything you do as a teacher for them!
Life has taken me away from my crane project a little bit . . . working with the kids today has motivated me to get moving on my project.
