Kite Capers Download N Go Review

The girls and I had a great time with the Download and Go Unit study by Amanda Bennet called Kite Capers!  March winds bring april flowers so now is the prefect time to fly a kite and learn more about them!



With the unit you will learn about the history of kites, weather, famous scientist who worked with kites and so much more. The book list that is included with the unit is great! You do not need the books however. All you need is included. There are links to websites, games, and videos to enhance your child’s learning. We always start our units off with a trip to the library. We didn’t find many of the specific titles but we did find plenty to keep us learning all week! Also included in the unit is family fun ideas and of course receipes!!

With each of these units there is a lapbook to print. Don't worry if you have never done it before, it includes very clear instructions on how to put it all together. If you are more into notebooking the unit also includes worksheets that you can print as well.  The options are really endless with these studies! You can print as little or as much as you want! This is a small sample of what is included:

Day 1: What Is a Kite?
Day 2: The History of Kites
Day 3: Kite People and Places
Day 4: Science Secrets of Kites
Day 5: Goodies and Gadgets of Kites



I was given a copy of this unit study for free for my honest review!� Each Download N Go unit is one week in length. The age range for these units are K-4th grade. There are five days of activities, notebooking pages and lapbook components, book lists, internet links.
You can read about all the fun others had this week here:
