The 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade Library classes read Balloons Over Broadway by Melissa Sweet, about the beginnings of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Students then worked in small groups to develop an idea for a character balloon! Ten of the classes were able to work on a final version of their parade balloons, and then Mrs. Williams edited it together so we could share our work with our families. We hope you will enjoy our parade! Click the link to view the parade:
