We had a pilot come and talk to our class.  He told us about the different parts of an airplane.

Everyone wanted to get a picture taken with Mr. Penn.

We had to do a lot of research to learn about airplanes and airports.

One group is presenting their research to the class.

Our class chose to make the fuselage.  We signed up for the jobs that we wanted to do and got to work.

Laura is measuring the length of the fuselage.

The girls are making the windows and putting them on the plane.

Another group made the seatbelts so that we could fly safely. 

The wing builders decided to use cardboard boxes to make the wings and flaps. 

Our finished plane looked great!
