I'm really proud of the kids! They are so excited about the people they are researching and are being very patient as we work in class on this rather ambitious project.

Hi, I am Thomas Edison. I invented the light bulb and improved the telephone. I also invented a movie camera and a copy machine.
Hi, I am Alexander Graham Bell. I was the first one that invented the telephone. June 3, 1875 was the day I transmitted speech sounds from my new phone. I also tried to teach my dog to talk.
Hi, I am the Wright Brothers – Orville and Wilbur. We were the first ones who invented the plane, and we were the first ones who rode the plane. People said “If you ride the plane for an hour, we will pay you $2,500.” We did that, and the people gave us $500 more!
