This week our class focused on the book "Balloons Over Broadway" by Melissa Sweet. This book is about the true story of the puppeteer of Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. We analyzed the book's main character, Tony Sarg. We provided character traits for him that we proved with evidence throughout the text.

We typically would create a project in school where they make their own Thanksgiving Day balloons, but this year I had to get creative to make it virtual. Our class successfully made our own Thanksgiving Day Parade GIFs.

Scroll down to witness our 1st Annual 209 Parade!
