Bea says she likes it when people teach her how to do fun things.  Today in class, we are making origami swan and boats.

We’ve been reading a story in class called Grandfather’s Journey.  It takes place in Japan and California.  Again, I know it’s a little kid story, but we all need a good story know and then.

Yesterday, I told my reading class about OUR story: how we used to be able to spend time together and now we can’t.  Then, the stories from them just poured out: loved ones who were lost, terrible traumas they’ve experienced.  We all saw that we ALL have a story to tell.

So today, I have Grandfather’s Journey for you AND how to make an origami swan.

Now, here’s the origami video… Try making the swan.  It’s fun!
