Saturday I attended the ROCKE workshop in which they sponsored Susan Brumfield as a clinician. I've mentioned this before, Susan was my pedagogy teacher for four years. I adore her. I worship her. I want to be her!! :) She's a fountain of knowledge and every time I see her I learn SO much and Saturday was also a lot of good review. I feel refreshed and ready to go back to the classroom after an extended spring break! One of the things I'm going back to is treble clef review with my 4th and 5th graders as we get ready to "stick recorders in their hands." Being spring and me wanting to find something different to do with the treble clef I created this kite activity. The basic idea is that everyone gets a card. For this reason, I created this activity in two versions: color and black & white. I know I can't afford to print this out in color for my 200 4th and 5th graders but I could print them out on various colored paper! They can either cut along the border or cut the actual shapes. Then they get a string. They must attach the ties onto their string that match the letters of the word that is spelled out on the kite. Oh, and they must be in the correct order! These can either be attached with tape or they could mount them onto a piece of construction paper. I used only words that did not have any repeating letters. I wanted to see how many different pitches they knew. Here are some of the colored cards: Oh, and I made some blank cards. These are designed for students to write their own words and use all the left over tags from all the other kites! :) You can download the cards here. I hope you all have a GREAT week!!

Isn't there something about Summer that makes you want to be a kid again? Homemade ice cream, the sound of lawnmowers and Marco Polo. Drippy popcycles and fireflies and long lazy days in sundresses. And flying kites. Of course. Well,

Isn’t there just something romantic and nostalgic about kites? Maybe it brings back memories of summer, time spent with family, a first date, or the adorable song “Let’s Go Fly a Kite” from Marry Poppins. With those warm, relaxed thought in our minds, kites became the inspiration for our 4th of July party!

Let's go fly a kite! Or at least make one. Check out how easy it is to make a paper kite craft and pretend you are Mary Poppins!

Spring is here! Let's go outside! Let's go fly a kite! What? You don't own a kite? No worries, we can make one! Today I'll share with you this really simple DIY paper kite. It's easy to make, fun to play with, and my young son loved decorating his very own kite. Spring, spring, la la la! (Can you tell that I have a bad case of spring fever? *Twirls around and leaps*) Make a Simple Paper Kite Now the only warning I have about this craft is that you have to make more than one paper kite. Seriously. Each kid should get have his own. And, be prepared for kites to break or float away. (One of our floated away.) Alright, let's make some paper kites! Materials to Make a Simple Paper Kite: Printer paper Scissors Yarn (This worked ok with me, but I wish I used a lighter string.) Tape Popsicle Stick Markers Hole Puncher Stapler Ruler Directions to Make a Simple Paper Kite: (I found the directions to make this kite from this wonderful video showing how to make simple paper kites .) 1. Draw a design on both sides of your paper. (Chuck and I did this collaboratively.) 2. Fold your paper in half. (Half the length.) 3. Using your ruler, make a mark at 2 1/2 " and a mark at 3 1/2" on the folded edge. 4. Now curve both corners of your paper down and staple them at the 2 1/2" mark. (Don't fold them down, make sure the paper is curved.) Your kite should now look like this. 5. Punch at hole at the 3 1/2" mark. Then, cut a long piece of string and tie it to your kite. 6. Tape the other end of your string down to a popsicle stick. Wind your excess string around the Popsicle stick so it doesn't get tangled. That's it. Now go fly your DIY kite! It takes a strong gust of wind to lift your kite, but if you run around (or ride your bicycle really fast), your kite will float along beside you too. Note: It was super hard taking photos while we were doing this activity. Both kids kept running around in different directions and both needed a bit of help with their kites. Here are two shots of Chuck riding his bike and flying his kite at the same time. Sometimes the kite got stuck in his wheels, but other times it flew behind him nice and high. Happy kite making!
