As I started working on my plans for Origami, I was a little stumped on week one. I wanted it to be easy enough to have kids not get lost but still have the project be fun. Well, I really under planned and we ended up with quite a bit of time. That's ok, it's our third hour and kids are tired and hungry! My helpers (I have two of them but only have 6 kids - 2 who were gone week 1!) didn't necessarily help either - they got caught up making projects from the book. On one hand it was fine but they also made some things that I had planned for a future week - like paper airplanes - and then had kids making them as extra stuff. Uuugg! I felt a little disorganized this week too so I need to do better on that for future weeks!
Anyway, on this first week, I handed out their supplies and then we made the very first two shapes - a cat and and dog. They got to add faces to their animals with googly eyes. Then, we used water colors to paint a background scene to add their animals too.
As I'm typing this, I realized that I left the finish products at Friday School so I can't take photos of them!
Once we finished the projects and cleaned up, I read this book about The Paper Crane. It was an easy read with interesting pictures.
The rest of the hour, the students could practice making other items from their book.
