FIAR- The Glorious Flight

 

The Glorious Flight is the story of Louis Bleriot and how he created an airplane and crossed the English Channel. The kids had a great time with this row. The story was put together really well, all of the information was detailed, and yet perfect for a little minds to understand.

History: The Wright Brothers, Amelia Earhart, Louis Bleriot

For ALL of these lessons we hit up YouTube!

* Amelia Earhart

* The Lost Journey of Amelia Earhart

* The Wright Brothers First Flight

* The Wright Brothers Cartoon (we watched each section)

Field Trip 

We went on a field trip to The Southern Museum of Flight. We had an amazing time. Our tour guide was a homeschooling Dad and he was great with the kids.

You know, those "good timing" things seem to happen a lot to me. It's just one way I know that I'm doing things right, and the way it should be. Love that! Nice row, I'm looking forward to this one.

It absolutely does let you know your doing something right. We were so surprised when the package came in.
