A while back Emmett came in and told us that his grandparents were coming to town. He continued, telling us that his grandfather flies a plane. That certainly piqued our interest. Airplanes are always an interest in preschool. We spoke to Emmett's mom, Dania and set a date for Emmett's Ama and Daiday to visit us on their next visit, the day after our Thanksgiving Feast.
Daiday and Ama came in with a large bag that was full. With what?? We sat down, looked and listened. Daiday told us that he is a stunt pilot. He performs all sorts of unusual moves with his plane. First we were shown pictures of the plane with Emmett and his cousin sitting in it. We saw the gear that Daiday wears when he flies. Then Daiday showed us videos of the stunts he performs. Daiday held up a toy airplane. He explained how the different parts affect the ability to do the stunts. Blowing across a piece of paper we watched how lower air pressure caused the paper to rise - the Bernoulli principle used in flying.
Finally Daiday and Ama gave each of us our very own plane to use outside AND another one to take home!
So that's why they had so much to carry into our classroom.
We went outside and flew our planes!!!
Thank you to Ama and Daiday for your interesting, well planned and generous visit!!!
