Our class worked together with Mrs. Novell's class to learn about the Wright Brothers and the first airplane flight. We read many books about the Wright Brothers, and watched a videotape about the history of flight. We used many of the internet resources provided with this project in our computer lab, and also used KidPix to create two different designs of paper airplanes. After reading the story Me and My Flying Machine by Marianna and Mercer Mayer, we designed and wrote about our own flying machines.

 

My Flying Machine 

My flying machine has a U.S.A. flag on it. It has a beeper on it so it can tell when it's about to crash. It has U.S.A. on it because it's a U.S.A plane. It has stars on it because the flag has stars on it. It has a steering wheel like a car. It's connected to the wheels so I can make my machine go where I want it to go. It flies and it has all kinds of colors. Its name is America. I can see America in my flying machine.
