Today we created popout books out of construction paper, string, and glue. Some campers also used sticky shapes. We began to think about poems to go with each of our books.

Today we made paper fortune tellers and wrote lots of poems in our journals. We typed them in the computer lab.

Looking forward to Monday to see what else is in store!

Paper-Making Poetry -- Center Valley -- Day 4, July 22nd

We made glass paper today and also lune poems. The glass paper was AWESOME and so much fun to make! They all came out very neat!

Emily worked on her glass paper. What I loved about hers were the penguins!

Elyse had a gigantic cookie cutout -- YUMMY!

Emily had a bunch of doggies!

This post was written by Angie. Wonderful job, Angie!

Paper-Making Poetry -- Center Valley -- Day 3, July 21st

In Paper-Making Poetry we had an absolutely wonderful time! We made a nest for our cranes and also added metaphors and color to our oragami cranes. Then we made a sunprint and this is how we did it:

We gathered all the things we wanted to have on it (like leaves, rocks, and flowers). Then we had 10 seconds to put those things on special paper and we had to wait one minute for the sun to take out all of the moisture out of the paper. If we waited too long, it would be too late. They came out really cool! -- Haley

Paper-Making Poetry -- Center Valley -- Day 2, July 20th

Today we worked with metaphor poems and linked two objects in our writing.

We created classic origami cranes -- this is no easy task! We discussed these cranes, called Orizuru in Japanese, and the tradition of folding one thousand cranes for good fortune.

We are looking forward to another great day of camp tomorrow.
