More Than Just a Brush on Paper

Help me give my students Japanese Calligraphy papers so they can practice writing Japanese characters with brushes.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Briem's classroom raised $388

My Project

Our brilliant scholars take Japanese classes because they want to learn the Japanese language and the culture. Japanese calligraphy, Shodo, is an excellent way to learn both language and culture. Shodo will help students experience kinesthetic learning as well as mental discipline. The requested Japanese calligraphy papers will provide our scholars an abundance of opportunities to experience Shodo in practice. The scholars will learn the fundamental reading and writing skills in Japanese. As part of our world languages program, learners build, reinforce, and expand their knowledge of other disciplines while using the language to develop critical thinking. Thank you for considering this project!
