My Project

We live in a windy city, yet the majority of my students have never flown a kite. I have been buying cheap ones to bring out on our windy PE days and they fall a part quickly.

I would love to buy some sturdy kites to give my awesome kids this fun experience.

It is a great way to get some fresh air and you can't believe how many steps the kids get trying to run around to get their kites to take flight. This is something I plan on continuing each year, so getting some nicer equipment is now needed.
