Mrs. Shumaker and Mrs. Padilla took their students on a flight today! Students had to walk through a metal detector, their luggage was scanned and boarding passes checked! They had to find their assigned seat number on the plane. LOVE watching their imaginations work and LOVE when teachers provide these opportunities.
