Reflection: (What have you learned about your students? How will this inform future instruction?)

For the lesson, I began by having the students sit on the carpet and presenting them the book Violet the Pilot. I started with the cover, pointing out to
the students that the title of the book rhymed. I then pointed out the cover page, and began reading the story out loud.
The children were engaged throughout the entirety of the story, making comments like Thats cool, Look at the dog and answering
questions throughout the reading. The children made comments about the plot as well; one particular student stated she could have gone to the air
show first then saved the boys after learning that Violet had missed the air show she wanted to enter to save a boy-scout troop from the river.
Another student then added that if she hadnt saved them they would have fallen and drown. The students were able to practice their predicting skills
throughout the story as well; at one point the book had the line Violet didnt build just any machines, I asked the students what type of machines
they thought she built and all readily relied flying machines.
After reading and discussing the book, we moved the lesson to a table and explained that we were now going to draw out a plan for our own
flying machines. I prompted ideas by showing the students picture of violets flying machines from the book and asking what things they thought they
needed to have in order to make their flying machines work. The students were very eager to create their own flying machines; first taking ideas form
the book, then, becoming more comfortable with the lesson, adding their own ideas.
