We discussed the Wright Brothers journey of building a successful airplane.
We talked about their struggles and setbacks and the determination to not quit
Also the impact their invention made on the world both then and now.
Project: The children made biplanes out of clothes pins.
Music: We practiced our presentation song( the children are doing great with memorizing!)
We also reviewed our notes and rests we had learned in previous weeks.
Questions to ask: Who were the Wright Brothers? What did they invent? What was the plane called that we made in class( biplane.)
