Balloons Over Broadway

 In honor of the 97th annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade the 5th grade class listened to the story "Balloons Over Broadway". The story told how the first balloons were created for the annual parade. After listening to the story, the students were asked to design their own balloon for the parade. They wrote an opinion paragraph to support their ideas and designs. Then we created our balloons as a STREAM project.
