Haiku :)

I believe in dreams! 

Do you believe in them too?

May they all come true!

The History of the 1000 Cranes fable and haiku :)

In nu works we have been talking about dreams. I think is a great subject for us to study coming close to the Christmas season. They told us about  an ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane, such as long life or recovery from illness or injury. The crane in Japan is one of the mystical or holy creatures (others include the dragon and the tortoise), and is said to live for a thousand years. In Japan, it is commonly said that folding 1000 paper origami cranes makes a person's wish come true. So we were told to fold 10 paper cranes each and write our wishes in them to see if our wishes will come true.

Next they taught us about Haikus. Haikus are poems that consist of three lines. The first and last lines have 5 syllables and the second has 7 syllables. most Haikus talk about dreams, peace on earth, and wishes. We did this along with the cranes to help broaden our minds about dreams and it really helped. 

C3 Experience :)

This C3 experience has been very exciting so far. Who knew that so much could come out of Circle, Cycle and Change! Once I got myself to look past the physical part and think outside of the box, it opened my eyes to a whole new out-look of things that i see everyday.

The project really gave me a better understanding of what they were trying to teach us. It let us express the true meaning of things that some people look over. It also brought the whole class together to express their ideas and put on a great show in front of our peers which also helps us to remember it a whole lot better because not only are we learning in our classrooms but we can also mix our talent in to have much more fun. Even though we haven't showed ours yet it is still going to be a shocking and unique show for us all. :)



C3 Circle :)

I would like to consider myself like a Circle... i dont want any points that will stop me from achieving my dreams and i want to curve around the hard times. :)
