Paper Lanterns

Daniel is reading a Japanese story for ELA lately, and the unit included instructions to make . . .

. . . a paper lantern (with help from his artistically-inclined older sister).

Anna and Todd thought the lantern was pretty cool, so after they finished their assignments for the day, they went right to work making their own paper lanterns (with help from their not-so-artistically-inclined mother).  When the lanterns were done, we weren't sure where to hang them . . .

. . . until I had the thought to display them on curtain hooks in our school room.

The paper-lantern trend-setter approves.  And in case you're wondering . . .

. . . his lantern has a place of honor up on his dresser.
