The Glorious Flight

August 28, 2009 by Ami 1 Comment

While working through the Flight Unit Study, we decided to work in a Five in a Row unit,The Glorious Flight, focusing on Louis Bleriot.  

Field Trip!
We visited a small local airport with our co-op friends.  The pilot did a great job with the kids and answered all of our questions about his job and his plane.

Trying French Foods
 ~Crepes (with homemade strawberry jam and whipped cream!)

~French Doughnuts (we made these together for tea-time)

Lapbook Pictures
We used the lessons from Five in a Row Volume I & the lapbook printables are from Homeschool Share

Learning about Roman Numerals


Elijah wrote, "He was the first to fly across the sea. (1909)  He did not give up."

Elijah loved the descriptive writing lesson.  The inside of the book says…
it is very tasty
shaped like a big chocolate chip
silver wrapper
sweet and smooth

Can you guess what he was describing? 

The count to ten in French printable is from Enchanted Learning.

The flag of France book is a graduated book that has two sections

Fun times with The Glorious Flight!
