My Project

Origami how-to books are among the most circulated books in our school's media center. Students are fascinated with using paper to create amazing things. Since our origami book basket is almost always empty, we need more books to satisfy student requests and keep them folding and having fun.

This project will give our students new high-interest origami books and origami paper to help them build their engineering, math, problem solving, fine motor and reading skills as they create something fun.The books provide a variety of different origami projects for students to try out.

We always give out paper when students borrow an origami book and they know this. If we forget, they stand at the circulation desk, looking at us until we remember and pass them a few sheets of paper. Having paper to give out definitely helps these books find their way into reader hands.

Thank you for helping us respond to student interests while helping them to build important skills that will serve them for years to come.
