He called his grandma 7 times in one morning<\/span>

<\/span>Two students come to my mind that surprised me and were inspired because of this program. Both are on IEP’s with a severe diagnosis. They have a hard time focusing and following multi-step directions. Both boys excelled at the paper-folding activities. They were usually finished first and had no difficulty with the activity. One was so excited about the program that he called his grandma 7 times in one morning to get up to school and pick up his supplies. He also made a trip to the bookstore and got 4 origami books because he was so interested in the program.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t

I can't wait to use these skills!<\/span>

<\/span>Thank you so much for creating this learning experience. I had a great time learning all of the different origami models as well as how to use them in teaching so many different skills. I can\u2019t wait to use these skills in the future!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t

Students were jumping out of their seats to answer questions<\/span>

<\/span>James came to work with our 7th-grade math students and left quite the impression!\u00a0 I asked him to come in during our geometry unit in order to review recently learned vocabulary through origami.\u00a0 James taught five different classes (ranging from 18-30 students each) how to make two origami pieces, and discussed the vocabulary relevant to each one.\u00a0 The students were immediately intrigued by him and the artwork that he brought to display.\u00a0 It was clear that they were engaged and excited during the lesson, some to the point that they were jumping out of their seats to answer the questions that James asked of them.\u00a0 Additionally, students who often refuse to complete their work, or struggle to stay on task, worked diligently the entire time.\u00a0 As an intervention specialist, one of the most exciting things for me to see was how the activity leveled the playing field for all<\/i> of the students\u2014it was impossible to tell which students normally struggle with learning the content (3 out of 5 classes included special education students).\u00a0 James also took time to work with students in between classes;\u00a0 they shared and discussed their art, and it was very evident that the students felt comfortable with him.\u00a0 We are hoping to have James back in our classrooms again, although the students can hardly wait until then!\u00a0 Oh, and they totally know all of their triangles now!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t

A great success!<\/span>

<\/span>The flapping birds were a great success at Saturday\u2019s event! The origami model was just perfect for the occasion. The Philanthropy Committee is so pleased.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t

Students are still bringing me extra foxes and boats that they have created on their own.<\/span>

<\/span>Mr. Peake came to two of my seventh grade co-taught math classes to teach an interactive lesson involving origami.\u00a0 Mr. Peake\u2019s lesson provided the students with an extension and enrichment of previously taught concepts.\u00a0 It also got them using terminology related to upcoming lessons.\u00a0 Mr. Peake did an incredible job integrating geometric concepts into the folding activity.\u00a0 He encouraged all students to actively participate in folding, as well as in the Q&A session.\u00a0 The students were very excited about their finished products.\u00a0 A week later, they are still bringing me\u00a0 extra foxes and boats that they have created on their own.\u00a0 I also had a student who created a cube-octahedron on his own and brought it in to share with the class.\u00a0 My students and I are very enthusiastic about having Mr. Peake back at NRMS in the near future for another lesson!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t
