Arts Integration Collaboration: Kite Video. Ms. Conyers w Ms Sandler
At
Paterson School 12, 4th grade teacher Ms. Anissa Conyers created a unit on "kites".
The students read several books about kites and researched the
history of kites through the years. Then, students identified famous
people who have flown kites. Next, Simone Sandler, WPU Art PIR created
two types of kites out of paper and tissue paper with her classes. After the kites were finished the students went outside to fly them. These students were also studying
weather systems and created an anemometer to measure the wind
speed. At the culmination of the lesson students reflected on the
problems that were encountered in the flying process. Enjoy the video below which documents this entire process!
