Rehoboth Elementary third-graders learned about kites and how to make the flying contraptions in time for National Kite Month in April, thanks to a visit from Rehoboth Toy & Kite co-owner Rachel Webster.
By the end of April, Webster said, she will have presented to every class at Rehoboth as part of the school’s art docent program.
“It’s nice to be able to volunteer in the school again after two years of the pandemic,” Webster said.
After a slideshow presentation detailing the history of kites, students created their own kites with materials Webster supplied, and decorated them with drawings of robots, mermaids, rainbows and Easter eggs.
