In this one-time class, students will learn the very basics of how airplanes fly. We will start off by learning about forces through a fun, interactive game. Students will watch a video clip and need to decide if a push or pull is being demonstrated. Then we will dive into learning about the 4 forces of flight (weight, lift, drag, and thrust). We will do a hands on worksheet together and play another game to help students remember these 4 forces. We will also be making a paper airplane at the end of class. I hope to see your learner there! #academic

Supply List
A 2-page worksheet will be uploaded to the welcome post after enrollment that will need to be printed out before class starts. Please don't print this back-to-back, as your child will be cutting and gluing from one piece of paper to the other. Your child will also need a pair of scissors, a glue stick, and an 8.5"x11" piece of blank printer paper. Thanks!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Minnesota Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hello everyone! I am a former elementary teacher, teaching 5th grade for 2 years and 1st grade for five. I enjoy teaching children about reading and math through games, hands-on learning, and engaging activities. Airplanes, bracelet-making, and social clubs are some of the other topics I am passionate about teaching. Through my time in the classroom, I know that in order for kids to learn, they need to be engaged and having fun! This is why I bring games and activities to all of my classes, so that we can really enjoy our time together.
I still currently hold a K-6 Elementary Teaching License. I loved my time teaching in the classroom but just recently decided it was time for me to stay home with my own two children (ages 3 and 1.5). We are excited for all the adventures we are going to have together as a family, especially going to the zoo to see my favorite animal - giraffes!Reviews
