The pentultimate teaching day is now over. I'm doing a two day unit on paper airplanes and how to make them fly straight and long. In doing this, I spent the weekend making paper airplanes so the students would have examples. I made two hundred different paper airplanes that they could chose to make themselves. If anyone wants my lesson plan I'll be happy to email it to you.
The contests included: best looking plane, flying the plane into a box, the longest distance flight, and 'the run and catch'. The last one was pretty funny as the students had to throw their plane and then try to catch it before it landed with a butterfly net. Thankfully, none of the students bailed - thus, no one was injured while competing in a paper airplane contest which would have been very hard to explain to the parents - and someone was actually able to catch the plane in the net. Actually, two students were able to do this 'catch and throw' contest and they looked goofy doing it. Winners got popping candy.
