We spent another day reading The Glorious Flight. It was just as great the second time.
We talked about some of the wonderful things we get from France and Great Britain. France brings us wonderful things like grapes, perfume, berets, the Eiffel Tower, croissants, and French poodles. While England is known for its double decker buses, the Royal Guard, umbrellas, and tea.
We then pretended that we were airplanes flying across the English Channel. We actually flew to the bathroom to wash our hands. When we finally flew back to our classroom, it was like we actually DID fly to England. A lovely tea party was set out for us.
We talked a bit about using our best manners as we sat down for our tea (only after our hostess sat first.) We then politely placed our napkins in our laps as our hostess filled our tea cups (with delicious lemonade.) We politely sipped our tea as we held up our pinkies.
We were oh so polite as we asked for crackers and cookies to be passed to us. We had such a delightful time. It was hard to leave England.
Next week, we will read a wonderful story from Japan.
Our "toast" to Louis Bleriot.
Pinkies up!
