We will put this theory to the test by making our own paper airplanes and testing out the design features. Day 3: ✈️ We will get to play pilot by learning all about how pilots communicate with Air Traffic Control on the radio. They will learn the NATO phonetic alphabet and practice using it to call Air Traffic Control. Day 4: ✈️ Will emphasize the effect that weather has on flying.

🤩Welcome to the Joy Factory! 🤩
I believe that all students learn best when they are enjoying themselves in the process, that’s why I call my “classroom” the joy factory, because I aim to create joyful learning experiences for all students.
I have found, through my 10 + years of teaching, that any of the core academic skills taught in school (reading, writing, math) can be taught with greater success (and joy) through topics of interest to the student. It can be even more joyful when the teacher is passionate about the subject. This is why I am so excited to be offering classes about aviation, science, and nature - all things that I have loved since childhood, as well as the traditional reading and writing classes but with a fun approach.
So, if your child loves any of these things too, take a peek at my classes and come join us for a joyful learning experience. I can't wait to meet you!
