Origami


  • Here is a wall display of folded books. My favorite Charter School was fortunate in receiving a number of new Dell computers for their library. But there was an almost overwhelming amount of waste with the discarded packaging. The Extended Day teachers and I tried to salvage the cardboard for future art projects. The keyboard cardboard boxes proved to work well as looms. And the booklets that came with them were not essential so we collected them and came up with a very pleasing origami project. It really was a good feeling for all to create and recycle.

Snowflakes


  • We have snow in my part of the country. This is a great interactive snowflake maker by Zefrank. It has a 3D option too.
