Origami and Introduction to Japanese Culture
Teacher: Lina Adachi
Description of class: Origami, or the Japanese art of paper folding is fun and great for our kids’ developing brains. It encourages development of creativity, logical thinking, math and science skills, and improves memory and concentration. It has also been described as ‘yoga for the mind’ and helps calm and relax our busy minds and bodies. Each week, kids will fold some origami and learn about a Japanese tradition, story or holiday. At the end of class, kids will choose which origami they wish to keep and which they would like to give to a community organization, like Roadrunner Food Bank, to share their creations (and perhaps a short message) with others. Roadrunner delivers food to over 500 people a day, mostly veterans, who dine alone at home.

Will notifications be received when books are checked out?

Need to update your email address? Contact nmislibrarian@gmail.com. Please include your name as well as your student’s name, grade and teacher.

Students and parents are responsible for borrowed materials. If a library book is lost or damaged the student and parent are responsible for resolving the issue on the student’s account.
