Mary Albee-Tullberg, the art teacher at Park Hall Elementary School, stood before approximately 80 third-graders and the visiting parents in the school's cafeteria on a recent afternoon. Using an overhead projector and a microphone, she painstakingly reviewed each step and every fold that was required to create an origami crane out of a square sheet of paper.

Groups of children helped one another and debated which way the paper should be folded. The parents who attended read from instructions that were set out on long lunch tables. A few of the students confidently produced their first crane, then followed with more. Others were having less luck.
