Reading: Up in the Air!

Theme: Balloon Flight...why do people go in hot-air balloons when they can travel by airplane? Some brainstorming ideas we came up with were: for fun, adventure, pretty scenery, a hobby, a competition/race. This week we're reading an expository story, Up in the Air. We are learning about the scientists/ inventors who created hot-air balloons, and the discoveries that they made. We are also finding out about the first brave men and women (and animals) who were passengers in these amazing balloons. 

Our skill for the week: Fact/ Opinion. A fact is information that can be verified (proven true or false), where as an opinion is what someone thinks or feels about something. Here is your vocabulary for the week, along with your vocabulary game!

Fact or Opinion: This is Mrs. Rapp's 16th year to teach.
