In 1955, 10 years after the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, a girl named Sadako Sasaki was diagnosed with leukemia. As more and more children are diagnosed with the same disease, people give the disease a name - atomic bomb disease.
While being treated at the hospital, a friend of Sadako Sasaki folded a paper crane for her. In Japan, paper cranes represent blessings. Starting with this paper crane, Sadako Sasaki embarked on a journey of origami cranes. In the process of constantly origami the crane, she went from wishing for health to hoping for world peace later.
Sadako Sasaki's unfinished paper crane was later completed by her friends, who also formed a society and began to raise funds. Three years later, a children's peace statue is located in Hiroshima Peace Park. Until now, every year on Peace Day, people bring paper cranes to the statue of peace.
This is a story about a paper crane. From various film and television dramas, you can also see the shadow of the paper crane. Origami cranes not only represent people's blessings, but also have to do with the history of origami.
Origami is a craft activity for all ages. Adults, who use origami to express their hearts, also have origami as a lifelong career. Children, in origami, can experience the joy of handicraft and develop the skills of fine movements. And this ability to finely move is also part of the "kinesthesis" of multiple intelligences. What is kinesthesis? British educator Mike Frisam, in the Multiple Intelligences Pedagogy, defines it as kinesthesis refers to the potential of a person to think and use the body with movement.
Developing children's multiple intelligences can make children find the joy of learning. What do children get out of origami? The former Soviet educator Sukhomlinsky once said that children's intelligence is reflected in the tips of their fingers.
Origami, multi-faceted ability exercise
Origami, the first thing visible to the naked eye, is to exercise the coordination of a person's hands. In fact, origami is still a good way to start math.
After my second eldest watched Mitsuya Anno's "Into the Wonderful World of Mathematics" several times, before I found a more suitable math book, I was with my children in origami and maintained my interest in mathematics. Why? Because most of the origami is square and triangular. And these shapes are conducive to the formation of children's sense of geometric space.
A piece of paper, through the movement of the hand, will be abstract geometric shapes, with the image of three-dimensional origami to present, can let the child's spatial imagination ability to be exercised.
There are many origami videos now, and individuals are more inclined to origami books than videos. Because, in the reading of books, there is also the ability to exercise. If there is an origami book, the child can read it on his own. Well, in the process of reading, the first thing to exercise is the child's observation ability. From the demonstration of the picture to the specific operation in your own hand, only by careful observation can you fold the correct origami shape.
Reading origami books also hides the exercise of reading ability. In "Subtraction Education", teacher Yu Xiaobing shared that improving the ability to read in language cannot be limited to the reading comprehension of language, "to break the barriers between subject learning". The reading of origami books is also a kind of reading.
Reading an origami book can exercise children's observation ability and reading comprehension ability, which is more attractive than following the video origami.
