Parent Guide > High Flight

This week in class, we’re reading "High Flight" by John Gillespie Magee, Jr..

In John Gillespie Magee, Jr.’s poem “High Flight,” a speaker describes the liberating experience of flying. 

As we read, we will be discussing the theme of Beauty & Happiness as it relates to the text. We are trying to answer this big question :

"How can we achieve happiness?"

Ways to support your child:

• Ask your child about this poem at home:
  • What was "High Flight" About
  • What did you learn about?
• Watch the following clips with your child at home:
  • 'Nature Makes You Happy | BBC Earth'
  • 'What's it like being a Fighter Pilot? '
