Balloons Over Broadway

Today we started a new writing project!  It is based on the book Balloons Over Broadway: The True Story of the Puppeteer of Macy's Parade.  It is such a rich book with lots of information about the man who created the balloons for the early parades.  

We cerated our own balloons for the parade!  We talked about how the balloon should be a character that most people would recognize, especially kids.  

Tomorrow we will write a letter to Macy's asking them to include our balloons in the parade.  We will have to think of good reasons for them to be included.

We also worked on our I Am Thankful books!  More on those another day!
