First origami class of the summer camp

The first class is under my belt: I had nine students and one assistant, who, although she'd done little origami before, was quite capable of picking it up very quickly and assisting teaching the younger students.
Of the nine, two are perhaps a little weaker than the rest -- and they are probably the youngest too: the ages range from 7 to 12. Today they all made houses, benches doves, masu boxes and cranes: all relatively simple models, and in the case of the cranes, some assistance was required by some of them,
But by and large their abilities seem good, and I think that I can enjoy --- and get them to enjoy --- the week. At least they all left with big smiles on their faces this afternoon!

Yours, pleased with the day,
N.
