Air Force Museum and Mapping

Friday we visited the Nation Museum of the United States Air Force.  
Here is a group picture of the class before we explored.  
 

The student's task for this field trip was to help us make a list of all the different modes of transportation.  Next week, we will review our list and choose one to study and become experts.  The students will be making a plan of how to share what they learn with their peers and families.  










A lot of the students enjoyed looking at the Air Force chopper from Orange County Choppers.

We were very busy this week with adding items to our playground map.  Here are a couple pictures of the climbing area of our playground.  We looked at Google Earth, printed a photo and worked from that.  As you can see, this is the shape of the climber from a "bird's eye view". 


Below you can see Tyler drawing the shape of one of the three slides on our playground.


Next week is another busy week.  We will be finishing up or playground map and will begin becoming an expert on a specific mode of transportation.

Have a great week!
Mrs. Julie Atkin
