1000 Paper Cranes

Private, concealed, trust

pure, strong, innocent, beautiful

cranes guard my secrets

For out third 6-weeks in nu-works we did a unit on paper cranes and the myth that if you fold 1000 of them a wish will come true........

.....this unit started with each of the classes in the commons and Mr. Richards starting a dance every one had to catch onto, for if they didn't commit, they would be sent out. After this, the well-known fable about the cranes was discussed, and we were told we would each fold 10 cranes to make a total of 1000. In each of our cranes we wrote a personal wish and in our journal we wrote a global wish and haiku-
