iLEAD AV 8th Graders Soar!

iLEAD AV 8th graders took their first glider flights Saturday, April 8!

Tapping into our curiosity about flight, iLEAD Student Aerospace‘s Soaring Aeronautics project answers the question “How do things fly?” and introduces learners to the forces described by Newton and Bernoulli.

Through this project, learners use the engineering design process to fabricate and launch their own gliders, interact with a full-scale glider, learn from glider pilots about flight controls and aerodynamics, and fly a glider!

Preflight training on simulators supports the development of flight and navigation skills. The history of flight, anatomy of birds, current experimental gliders, and meteorology are woven in to extend and enhance knowledge, giving meaning to research and writing.

Special thanks to iLEAD Student Aerospace Projects and to Skylark North for hosting and guiding the learners!

iLEAD Antelope Valley Aeronautics Project POL

At iLEAD Antelope Valley, all grades (TK-8) have been immersed in aero-related projects at the same time! On April 6, their school-wide Presentation of Learning featured their beautiful work. We’re so proud of the learners for diving deep into their subjects and demonstrating their learning to our community!

Special thanks to iLEAD Student Aerospace Projects for your guidance with this exciting project!

Message from the iLEAD AV Exploration Director

Dear iLEAD AV Exploration Families,

We are looking forward to seeing everyone this week for your LP meetings and also at the Poppy Reserve on Friday! Please be sure to sign your Learning Log Friday as soon as you get it. We have to complete our state reporting for attendance on April 7, so we have a quick turnaround to get it done. Thanks for your help.

We will see those of you who want to attend at the Poppy Reserve Friday, April 7, at 10 AM. You are able to park for free by mentioning iLEAD Charter Schools. Like last year, we will meet at the Visitor Center at 10 AM. Then you and your family can walk the trails on a self-guided tour. Be sure to wear appropriate clothing and shoes. You will also want to bring water. Please ensure all your family members stay on the trails. We don’t want to step on the flowers or a snake!

Directions to the Reserve:
The Reserve is located 15 miles west of Lancaster at 15101 Lancaster Road.

  • From Highway 14: Take the Avenue I exit and head west 15 miles. Avenue I becomes Lancaster Road.
  • From I-5: Take Highway 138 east and turn right on 170th Street West. Make a left at the end, onto Lancaster Road. Follow the road two miles.

Do you know anyone who would benefit from our program next year? Please invite them to come check us out! Word of mouth is the best type of advertising. Let them know we are offering tours every Tuesday at 10 AM. They may register HERE to attend. A virtual TK/Kindergarten Round-Up will be offered on April 24 at 6:30 PM. Click HERE to RSVP.

Also just a reminder: If you haven’t completed your intent to return, we cannot guarantee your child will have a spot next year.
