We started class by Coats-Haan rushing us to sit down saying we dont have a lot of time. Which is a normal daily occurence. Then Coats-Haan checked for completion for the previous nights homework, Pg. 52 #1-6, and then proceeded to pass out the key to the homework. Today i learned that i did surprising well on last nights homework. After quickly checking the homework, Coats-Haan explained that we are going to make air planes! She instructed that one person from each table acquire a plane frame, the cut outs, and instructions for each person at their table. In the center of the table was four sheets of news paper, and four bottles of glue (glue = bad). Some of the glue was brand new, and some of the glue was old. My glue, for example, was new, so I thought this to be a good thing, No. It was really dry at first, coming out very slowly. So I squeezed harder, still coming out slowly. Then SPLAT! all over my desk. Then once we built the beautiful planes Coats-Haan crushed our dreams and said we couldnt fly them until monday! Instead, we colored our air planes. And at the end of class we sang the clean up song.
Question of the Day: Why are we building planes?
Answer:
My best guess as to why we are building planes, other than the fact that it is fun and they make great christmas presents, is so we can record their flight distances and times and find their average speeds and velocitys.
