Third graders first learned about Cherry Blossoms and their importance to Japanese culture. They also learned about the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington D.C. and how the trees there had been a gift from Japan. They used a template to draw a circle on white paper. The girls practiced painting Cherry Blossoms on a separate sheet of paper before painting them on the circular paper. The paper was then accordion folded to create a 3-d image, A black piece of paper was glues to the top and bottom of he lantern and a string was drawn onto the red paper with a Sharpie.
