This week the homework will center on flying activities. The activities are appropriate for K-3, except as noted. Feel free to copy, cut, and paste the assignments into your own word processor for sending home (or print this page).

Day 1

This week the activities relate to flying. Have the children make two lists: one of animals that fly, one of man-made things that fly.

Day 2

Either give the children or ask them to find a picture of an airplane. Have them write (or dictate) the names of as many parts of the plane as they can.

Day 3

Interview three people and ask them: What makes an airplane fly? Choose one response and illustrate it.

Day 4

Superman is a make-believe character who can fly. Write (or dictate) how your life would be different if you could fly.
