First Grade Curriculm

READY, SET, FLIGHT!!!!!!!

Room 1’s first graders have been busy learning all about flight. The students have been studying different ways lift is created. After learning about hot air as a source of lift, the students worked in teams and constructed hot air balloons out of tissue paper. With the help of parent volunteers and their teacher Mr. Sarda, they used a camp stove to fill their balloons with hot air and launched them. As the students continue this unit, they will look at human made flight machines, insects that fly, and birds. They will look at this concept through the bigger lense of change: specifically what stays the same and what changes.

Below are pictures of the great launch in room 1.
