Let's Fly High With Kites

Help me give my students kites to fly in the month of March.

  • This project is not currently eligible for funding.
  • $294 goal

My Project

March is the month that my students get to give me their challenge for the month. They chose the Kite challenge. The kite challenge will include math, science, technology, and predictions, but my students will see it as nothing but FUN!!

Yes, it will be fun, but we will also dive into wind speed, make predictions as to how high kites will get in the air, and keep records of wind speed by day.

They are excited about flying kites because there is an open field next to our school. They are ready to compete with other classes. This will be a fun learning challenge for all students.
