Airplanes

Hi Blue Room Family and Friends,

Our class is starting to wrap up airplanes, we have enjoyed flying them all over. The children have created their very own flight school and runway to take off from.





Please stop in to see your child's model plane parked at the Blue Room Airport.

It's a Bird, it's a Plane...Its Superman!

Hi Blue Room Family and Friends,

Blue Room started to get interested in airplanes, from wanting to make paper airplanes. Many of the children every morning would ask Teacher Thaovy to make them an airplane. We noticed that soon there were paper airplanes flying all over our classroom, making it difficult to not be in the flight path. So we decided to create our very own Blue Room Flight School.








We also made blue prints of our airplanes before we made our 3D wooden models.














A couple words from P about our model airplanes -- "They made them how ever they want. One of the planes were tiny and it was Nico's plane. Someday when my plane gets painted it will look really nice. What if the planes try to take off now. I guess we'll have to glue my plane back together. It needs windows, wings, jet, and tail."

A couple words from K about what are we learning -- "About the runway, airplanes drive on the runway and when they get to the end they take off and go really high. We have been learning about how an airplane flies. Some have propellers and some have jets. The wings and tail help them steer."





A couple words from M -- "We made airplanes and tomorrow we are going to color them, we made them out of wood. Teacher Thaovy tried to fly an airplane it did not fly. The shape of the wings help them fly. We have been learning about lift - makes the airplane or jet go up, drag - means go backwards, thrust - means to go forward, and gravity - means to go down. We have been learning bout the runway too."

A couple words from G -- "The president flied on the Air Force 1 Plane. The Fighter Jet it fights the bad guys. It has bombs on the wings, also wants to have a Co-Pilot. The black airplane it goes at night, called the Nighthawk. They won't see it on the radar."

Please take time to ask your children about what they are learning. They have all been very interested about the topic and we are super excited to learn more.

Hugs,

Teacher Kristina
