3rd Grade Kite Field Trip

3rd graders enjoyed an afternoon at the park learning about flight with Therese.  Everyone created a kite but sadly didn't get a change to fly it due to the thunder, lightening and rain!  I kept the kites and will hope for a better day next week at school.  We will find a large field with wind.
Be sure to quiz your kids about the forces of flight and how they apply to kites and birds' wings.
Below is a group picture, minus one third grader.  

Civil War

I keep playing with words in Tagxedo.  I haven't figured out how to make the words spin when I click on them.  Maybe the spinning option costs money.  I will keep exploring.  5th graders begin their study of the Civil War by asking and answering their own questions.  We will focus on the radical idea laid bare by the conflict: All men are created equal.  I hope students learn important stories of the Civil War and relate them to a current issue of today.
