Express Yourself Kites

Third Grade drew and painted kites.  The project took 2 class periods.

 

Directions:

 

I told the kids that they were to design a kite.

I told them that I would like the kite to express something about themselves.

I provided the kids with various stencils.  Also, some chose to use rulers.

I intentionally kept the project open ended.

Have a look!

 

Nicholas-He loves details.  Once he starts, he cannot stop.  Nice job, though.



 

Kaleb did an abstract pizza kite.  I like the simplicity.

 

Brant is very talented.  He has a very steady hand and is detail oriented.  Also, he does a lot of woodworking at his home.  Yes, he used a ruler and measured precisely.

 

I love AK's pineapple.  Pineapples are just fun fruits, not boring like grapes.

 

Michael loves sports.  He included his ball number.

 

Alli loves M&Ms, hence her choice in kite décor.

 

JB is very meticulous for a third grader.  He actually struggled with his kite.  He had a major problem.  I said, "Yep, you got a problem, fix it."  JB was not totally happy with the way his kite turned out, but his teacher was very happy that he did some problem solving.  I was pleased with the results!

 

 Oh this kite cracks me up!  Hayden made a doughnut kite.  If you knew this funny kid, you would say, "This kite truly represents this kid's personality.  Love it!

 

Maybe you get a free hug today?
