Summary [First flight, 120 feet in 12 seconds, 10:35 a.m.; Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, Dec. 17, 1903] Photograph shows the first powered, controlled, sustained flight. Orville Wright at the controls of the machine, lying prone on the lower wing with hips in the cradle which operated the wing-warping mechanism. Wilbur Wright running alongside to balance the machine, has just released his hold on the forward upright of the right wing. The starting rail, the wing-rest, a coil box, and other items needed for flight preparation are visible behind the machine. (Orville Wright preset the camera and had John T. Daniels squeeze the rubber bulb, tripping the shutter.) Daniels, John T., photographer. The Library of Congress, “Wright Brothers Negatives”

The Amazing Flying Machine
More than one hundred years ago, two brothers stood on a sand dune at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, Nearby was a big, odd-looking machine they had built. The brothers were Orville and Wilbur Wright. The machine was the world’s first powered airplane. Today, that amazing flying machine is on display at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. The museum has the largest collection of historic aircraft and spacecraft in the world. A new exhibit at the museum marks the 100th anniversary of the Wright brothers’ famous flight. The Wright brothers’ flying machine looks something like a box kite with an engine. But it made all future flight possible. Wheels to Wings In 1896, the Wright brothers made bicycles in Dayton, Ohio. But they dreamed of wings, not wheels. At that time, the only way to fly was in a basket under a hot-air balloon. Not many people did so, as the balloons were hard to control. Orville and Wilbur set out to build a machine that could fly. It would have glider-type wings and an engine. Designing and building the flying machine took years. When it was finally ready, bad weather set in. The Wrights had to wait months to test their invention. Flying was a dangerous mission. Other people had died trying to fly. On December 17, 1903, however, the Wright brothers were ready to take their chances. Orville was the machine’s first pilot. His flight lasted only 12 seconds. The flyer traveled just 120 feet and landed with a thud. The flight was short but very sweet. It proved that humans could fly. Orville and Wilbur made four flights that day. They took turns as pilots. Wilbur made the longest flight. He flew for 59 seconds and went a distance of 852 feet.
3
Roll, Pitch, and Yaw The Wright brothers’ invention began the age of flight. Their machine was important not only because it flew, but because it could be controlled in the aIR. The Wrights could control their craft in three important ways - roll, pitch, and yaw. They could roll the wings right or left. They could pitch the plane’s nose up or down. And they could yaw the nose from side to side. Being able to control the plane in those three ways made all the difference. All pilots use those same controls when flying today. To the Stars After the Wright brothers’ success, flying really took off. In May 1927, Charles Lindbergh flew a small, one-seater plane across the Atlantic Ocean. He was the first person to do such a feat alone. That plane, the Spirit of St. Louis, can be seen at the Air and Space Museum. The museum also displays a jet named Glamorous Glennis. Its pilot was Chuck Yeager. In October 1947, Yeager flew the plane 700 miles per hour. It was the first plane to fly faster than the speed of sound. With jets, humankind pushed toward the edge of space and beyond! In 1962, John Glenn became the first man to orbit Earth. He flew in the Mercury Friendship 7 space capsule. That tiny craft is now at the museum. The craft that first flew men to the moon is there, too. For the Wright brothers, flight was an amazing adventure. Today, the adventure goes on. In the past hundred years, human flight has soared from Kitty Hawk to the moon!

Tuesday Activities Literacy/Social Studies Reread “The Amazing Flying Machine” article. Complete Corroboration box below.
Corroborate
Confirm and adjust your conclusions with
other sources.
After reading the article, “The Amazing Flying Machine”, write down evidence from the text that supports your ideas about the picture from the Monday activity.
1. Re-read passage, “The Amazing Flying Machine” article, looking for vocabulary and main idea. 2. Find these vocabulary words in the text: designing, exhibit, invention, roll, pitch, yaw 3. Use a highlighter or a pencil and highlight or underline the part of the sentence that helps you understand the meaning of the word. 4. Tell a family member about one of the words you learned in the passage and its meaning. Math Tuesday’s Math Vocabulary words:
Array is an orderly arrangement, usually rows or columns, used as a tool to visually demonstrate multiplication.
Using a household material or by drawing a picture, create a multiplication model from one of the multiplication equations in Monday’s assignment that makes sense to you (one you answered correctly). Create a multiplication model from one of the equations that you missed (if you got them all correct, make a second model).
Example: Fact: 3x5 means 3 rows or groups of 5 in each row or group.

Music Activities MUSIC: Listen & Share
This is a great one to do while you are eating lunch or dinner, or during commercials while watching TV! It’s best if more than one person gets a turn.
Name your favorite song. If you have lots of favorites, just choose something at random. If you don’t know the title, sing or hum a little bit and see if anyone else knows what it’s called. It can be a song from the radio, a TV show, a movie, a video game, church, something you heard or watched on YouTube, anything! Tell who sings or plays this song. Talk about whether you like any more of their music. Answer any or all of the following questions:
1) When did you first learn about this music? Have you known it for a long time, or just a little while? Did anyone tell you about it, or did you discover it on your own?
2) Do lots of people like this song, or just you? 3) How does this song make you feel when you hear it? If you are in a different mood when you
start listening, can it change your mood? How? 4) Is this song fast, slow, loud, quiet, powerful, gentle, crazy, sweet, relaxing, energizing? Use
any music vocabulary you can think of - but the most important part is just to talk about it. If possible, find a recording of your song to share with your family - YouTube is a great place to start!

Tuesday Answers will vary. Check to see that the numbers match the following order.
4x3 means 4 groups or rows of 3 in each group or row
Array: 4 rows with 3 apples per row
Set/Equal Group 4 buckets with 3 apples in each bucket
Misconception: Although 3x4 equals twelve (which is in the same fact family as 4x3), 3 rows of 4 apples, or 3 buckets of 4 apples is not the same as the images shown above. We are teaching the concept that the first number is how many groups or rows and the second number multiplied is the number in that group or row.
Thursday 1. Good estimate is 10 x 4 =40 baskets
Answer is 8 x 4 = 32 baskets. 2. Good estimate is 10 x 6 =60miles
Answer is 11 x 6 =66 miles 3. Good estimate is 20 x 8 =$160
Answer is $17 x $8 = $136
