Our Social Studies curriculum for third grade is World Communities. In each unit we visit a different country. In August, I made this airplane to have in the hallway to greet the students. I am no artist and I definitely was not thinking of the size of the school laminator. So after I had colored the plane and outlined it in black, I sent it to our awesome art teacher to laminate, that way I could use it each year. But, low and behold, it was too large. I had to cut the plane into 5 pieces and then I use packing tape to put it back together....ugh. Then one on the first day of school, I took each of the kids pics and put them in the windows of the plane. They love looking at this everyday... even in January. As you can see, this plane has no pilot... I still have yet to my picture in there......
