For science we tested 4 different paper airplanes to see which one would go the furthest. The teachers each threw an airplane. The orange airplane flew the farthest distance. The white airplane flew in the air the longest. The pink airplane flew the shortest distance. The kids each picked their favorite airplane to fly.
For art we made something else that has a propeller and flies in the air....a helicopter! First the kids colored their paper. Then they listened and followed a series of directions on how to fold the paper to make a helicopter. After the helicopters were finished we took them over to the carpet and practiced them flying to the ground. The kids loved it!
During writing today the kids practiced lowercase h. We also wrote a fact about planes in our journals. The kids looked through airplane books while they waited to have a turn. After eating lunch we sang happy birthday to Jack D and he handed out stickers to all the kids in the class.
Tomorrow is suppose to be another beautiful day. Maybe we will be able to eat lunch in the park.
