Preschool Crafts: Let's Go Fly A Kite

3/30/2015

A few weeks ago, our last week before Spring Break, the preschool class of Little Builders Preschool, a ministry of YWAM San Diego/Baja, learned all about the weather. We learned some really fun things about clouds, even what some of their names were. Clouds are pretty rare around here so it is always very exciting when we get to see them in the sky. We also learned some really cool things about the wind. We learned that the wind is like God, we can't see it but we know it's there because of the actions that it causes and because we can feel it. God is the same, we can't see Him with our regular eyes but we can see that way He is moving by the people around us and we can feel Him in our everyday lives.

Since we were studying the wind and it was a really nice windy day, I thought why not make a kite! Now I first was thinking the traditional diamond shaped kite with the poles and the string, etc. This didn't seem very practical for us as we didn't have anything to use as support poles and I honestly didn't think we'd be able to do it. So I looked through our awesome art closet & checked out what supplies we do have. I found paper bags, colorful streamers, popsicle sticks and ribbons. I put my thinking cap on and with a little inspiration, came up with these really cute kites.

This week at Little Builders Preschool, a ministry of YWAM (Youth With A Mission) San Diego/Baja, we are celebrating all things Dr. Seuss! Theodore Seuss Geisel, most commonly known as Dr. Seuss, was born on March 2 so schools all over the world celebrate his contribution to childhood literacy during the last week of February or the first week of March.

We have been reading several of his books like One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish and Green Eggs & Ham. we have also been learning some fun & interesting facts about him like his real name and that he liked to wear funny hats because they gave him funny ideas.

We've also learned that he wrote over 40 books and that not only was he an author, someone who writes books, but also an illustrator, someone who draws pictures for books.

This Friday we will be having a Dr. Seuss party and will be dressing up as our favorite Dr. Seuss character! We had so much fun last year. We hd some very creative costumes and our preschool class even tried green eggs! We will make them again this year & we plan to try a few new things that might look a little weird but taste really good!

I thought that is share some of our easy costume ideas with you in case you need a little inspiration!

I am on an amazing adventure traveling the world with Jesus. After 7 years of teaching preschool in Alabama, God called me to the mission field in Mexico full time. I led short-term missions trips for 6 years and the Lord opened the door for me to mix both of my passions, missions and teaching. I am now the director of Little Builders Preschool and we will soon be opening a full International K-12 school. The current students are missionary kids but will be open to the local community in the future.

Join me on my adventure and learn what I learn.

As a full-time missionary, I do not receive a traditional pay check. I rely on the generous support of friends, family & people like you. As any teacher does, much of what we use in our school is purchased by me out of my own personal funds.
