Yes former students, Ollie is here in North Carolina with me! Today the two of us went off Hatteras island for the first time in weeks and went to the Wright Brothers memorial. I hope my former second graders remember how we read a story about the Wright Brothers and discussed their first flight in North Carolina.
So here are some pictures:
Here is Ollie sitting on the wing of the Wright Flyer (don't know if he was supposed to sit there, so don't try this yourself if you ever visit!)
Here is a photo of Ollie and me at the rock that marks the spot where the Wright Brothers first flew:
I took a photo of the rocks marking the end of the first 4 flights the brothers took. That picture is next. I will have lots of other photos from this visit in Ollie's journal at the beginning of the year, you will all have to stop by to see for yourself!
What a great experience for Ollie. Looks like he has had a great summer full of lots of things to share with his new class this fall. Jacob is very excited to visit the Wright Brothers Memorial in a few weeks when we make our journey south. His dad his worked toward earning his private pilots certificate causing Jacob and his brothers to be big fans of aviation. Stay safe and thanks for sharing your many adventures.
