WF Air Flight 123
In the absence of the Blue Bus on Monday, we would like to take all Wee Friends on a field trip to the South Bend Regional Airport. Our days this week have been filled with airport/airplane exploration and we think it will be a great adventure to incorporate into our blossoming study! Tami will email permission slip forms to you. Please return them Monday morning when you bring your WF to school. We will be departing at 9:30 and returning in time for noon lunch. We will take both the Weehicle and Tami’s Honda. While all four teachers will be accompanying the class on the field trip, parent volunteers are welcome!
While we ate lunch, we collected some information from our Wee Friends. When we asked “Where did you fly to on an airplane?” here’s what we learned:
Umi: “Chile!”
Annie: “Disneyworld and somewhere else.”
Ada: “I haven’t been on a plane.”
Nate: “New York!”
Max: “Minnesota and California!”
Vivian: “Minnesota and California!”
Kai: “Arizona and California.”
Alexandra: “I don’t know.”
Marta: “I went on the airplane!”
Finn: “spain!”
Stephen: “To the Batman store!”
Jane: “Grandpa’s house.”
Macy: “Aunt Ashley’s wedding.”
Simon: “To my Grandma’s house, England, New Jersey and Chicago.”
Elliott: “I flew to Florida.”
This morning Melinda read A Little Golden The Airplane Book, and friends worked on creating a runway.
Next, Lisa prepared passengers to board WF Air Flight 123. First, she demonstrated the job of the ground crew.
Next she described the job of the air traffic controller. WF chose who they wanted to be, we set out seats, passed out boarding passes and prepared for a flight to New York.
While on board, friends enjoyed snacks, beverages and entertainment. Flight Attendants passed out instruments when we hit our cruising altitude.
We landed, exited the plane and ran outside before the rain.
Our Wee Sprouts today are carrots. Breakfast was Wheat Chex and cantelope. For lunch we served whole grain brown rice with kidney beans, corn and pineapple.
Have a terrific weekend!
