Kite News

Dear Families,

 

“Go fly a kite, kid!”   How many times does a teacher get to say THAT to her students?   I had the good fortune to be able to say that on Monday this week as Jeremy, Kite Man, led us to the “big kids” playground to test out the flying capacity of our kites.  We learned to wait for the wind, and figure out which way our kites and we had to be facing to “catch” the big one.    After a while of running and running, and evening more running, some of us figured out that we could actually stand still and let the wind do all of the work for us, IF we stood in the right place with the kite and wind “telling” us what to do by “feeling” it.

 

What a wonderful experience we all had with Jeremy last week and into this week.  Thank you to all of you who helped fundraise with the PTN so that this amazing opportunity could happen for our children.

 

Enjoy the photos!
