FIAR - The Glorious Flight

We read the book "The Glorious Flight" written by: Alice & Martin Provensen last week. "The Glorious Flight" was a true story based on the life of Louis Bleriot-- the first person to fly over the English Channel. It is a very educational book and there is a variety of things you can learn along with it. 

Here is a list of our weekly studies: 

• We traced Papa Bleriots trip from France to England on our map.
• We learned about the culture of both France and England.
• We made lego flags of France and England. 
• Worked on Ordinal Numbers.
• Learned about Roman Numerals. 
• Labeled parts of an airplane. 
• Leaned about different types of airplanes. 
• Made paper airplanes. 
• Learned the science vocabulary word: Gravity 
• Learned about the first Hot Air Balloon Ride. (The first ride happened in France and the passengers were a sheep, duck and a rooster. The ride lasted for a grand total of 15 minutes before it came crashing to the ground. The balloon was called "Aerostat Reveillon".)
• We learned about Joan Of Arc and Queen Elizabeth I.
• We read and learned about Brave Harriet (the first woman to fly across the English Channel.)
• Watched a movie on netflix about The Wright Brothers and read more about them also. 

These are the resources we used this week:

  

It was a glorious week :)
