Students will learn the basics of the Japanese art form of origami. This project provides several different instructional books and plenty of different origami papers to make it engaging and fun!
Like all other projects I do with this group, one of the main focuses will be the community service aspect. Once our students become "experts" in one or two projects, we can partner with a local preschool and provide mentoring to the younger students. Also, once some students become more advanced, we can create more elaborate projects and displays and donate them to the local retirement/assisted living center. Introducing philanthropy in with fun lessons is a great way to teach students empathy and keep them community oriented.
