3rd Grade's Learning Takes Off!

On Friday, third grade embarked on our study of the magnificent country of China.  One of our first tasks was to make our own passports so that we could get ready to travel and learn all that we could together. Third grade chartered our flight in style on Abington Friendly Sky’s non-stop service to Beijing.   Students listened attentively to pilots Felix, Jeanne, and Phallon as we reviewed procedures for safety and take-off.  Soon, we were flying over the Pacific Ocean on our way to China!

We had a special flight path flying past beautiful terraced rice paddies, karst mountains, thirty-story pagodas, and winding rivers in central China. Then, we ducked through Shanghai to see some of the some of the most famous and tallest skyscrapers in the world.   Snacks and beverages were passed out and we enjoyed the amazing and peaceful scenery.  Through the miracle of technology, our normal 20 hour flight took just 20 minutes! After we disembarked our plane and had our passports stamped, we were ready for our journey into China.  We can’t wait to learn all about this awesome country!
