The first day of Spring was the weekend before this lesson, so in celebration of the changing of seasons I taught my little ones their first origami lesson. In my classroom, I have a couple of kiddos that have additional needs and for them long directions can get confusing.
To assist them with origami I created a 3D step-by-step chart showing them what comes next. Seeing, touching, and comparing helped them out immensely. They got to do most of it on their own without a teacher hovering over their shoulders. Even a few of the kids became confident enough to help out their table-neighbors when a step was forgotten. Yeah teamwork!
