This Week in Aviation (Nov 2-6)

Dear Parents and students,

The Space Race has begun.  How many of you rememer that devestating moment when the Challenger shuttle exploded?  History is full of sacrifices.  And aviation is full of heroic women and men who have made incredible sacrifices. Your students have been studying these great heroes and also building models and other engineering projects.  I hope that we can learn from the past – both from the bravery of those who sacrificed and the brilliance of the engineers who made the technology possible.

Here is our class schedule for the week:

4B2 Day 2 Prepare to present in group
