Kites

Today we learned about kites! We talked about kite flying as a hobby, something you can do for fun. We talked about the many shapes, sizes, and appearances kites come in and watched some video of kite flying. We noticed that a kite has a tail, and flies in the sky, and might even look like a bird, but it is not alive. 

We made blue, diamond shaped kites which the children had great fun decorating. They took a lot of time selecting the decorations and where to put them, so praise them for that! We put tails and bows on our kites. Notice it has 5 bows. 

We held up our kites and I told them to take it home and say, "Look at my kite. It's a blue diamond and has 5 bows. Let me count them. 1...2...3...4...5. Now in spanish...." If your child does not start this conversation, initiate it and they will probably remember.
