Today I visited one of the 4th grade classrooms at the school where I work. Each year Mrs. Crow's 4th grade students read the book Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes. Last year she heard about my 1000 paper crane project - Peace, Love, Cranes and invited me to visit her classroom and show her students how to fold an origami crane. I was invited back again this year . . . and once again I think 4th graders are amazing.
Each student folded a paper crane. Those who knew how or caught on quickly helped the other students. They truly amazed me and warmed my heart. I have been a little lax on dropping my paper cranes . . . this motivated me to get moving along with my project.
I love that you are able to do this with a class. It has to warm your heart to see the kids be so creatively involved.
