Guess what?? Today Mrs. Rourke's 5th grade class at Wintergreen Interdistrict Magnet School, an ACES school in Hamden, CT, finished listening to Mrs. Rourke read Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes. Then, students made origami cranes, which I will take with me to Hiroshima.
While I'm in Hiroshima, I will hang the cranes the students made at the Children's Peace Monument built in Sadako's honor. Please visit the Children's Peace Monument link above. There, you can learn more about Sadako, leave a message for peace, and even find out how to send your folded paper cranes to be hung as a symbol of peace.
