We celebrated the end of our information reading and writing units of study by taking flight! Future flight instructors from Vermont Technical College joined us to talk about the forces of flight (thrust/drag, lift/weight) and to try out our skills by building our own (paper) airplanes. Each classroom held a test flight competition to see which pilot could land their airplane closest to the "airport"...great skill was involved in the flying!
A giant THANK YOU to our friends at VT Tech for the mini-flight school and for helping us celebrate our accomplishments by learning even more!
