Each
year we have a Day of Flight the last day of March. Students bring
kites and or make paper planes. A
cooperative
groupof six makes a predition of th eforecast of
our day o f flight. In case of inclement weather,
we'll keep the kites around until the perfect warm breezy day! The
students will make paper planes, too. We'll have a flying
contest. It's
a great time
for all!
