Main Ideas and Bessie Coleman

 ~We are focusing on finding and inferring the MAIN IDEA in text this week and next.  Today we learned about the incredible Bessie Coleman and how she became the first Black pilot in the USA.  She had to go to France to get training.  When she returned to the USA she became a rock star with her flying stunts.  Tragically, he fell out of a plane while flying over Jacksonville.


A cool video of Bessie put on by the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C.
