Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum

Day 7

We had a great day at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. Mary, our leader revised the properties of air, Bernoulli’s Principle, the four forces of flight, and pitch, roll, and yaw. In addition she told us many interesting war stories.

 

When we got back from our trip we began work on our second novel study. We will be reading Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt as a class. Students have received their novels and novel study response packages. We read the prologue and discussed the prologue in class. Students are asked to read chapters 1 & 2 and complete response pages 2 to 12 for Wednesday. We will have novel studies on each day that we do NOT have music.

A few students have not yet returned their City of Ember books. Please do this as soon as possible.
