Balloons over Broadway and Thanksgiving Feast in Second Grade

Adam's teacher is great at making children feel like they belong and that they each have strengths to contribute to their community classroom.  The week of Thanksgiving began with this message for her class.

In social studies Adam's class studies the history of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.  They read the biography of the man that made the first balloons and learned about Herold Square.

Then they made their own Balloons Over Broadway.

One day they made the buildings, then the next day they designed their balloons and came up with a materials list for their teacher.  The next day they made taxi cabs, and the last day balloons.  On Friday they had the parade...

Adam made the character Cat Kid.

Then after the parade they had a Thanksgiving feast of apples and popcorn.
