The first grade listened to the book Balloons on Broadway, which tells the history of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and how a Macy’s employee, Tony Sarg, who was originally hired to create marionettes for Macy’s window, is credited with creating the first balloons for what has become an annual parade event. Students created a timeline, answered comprehension questions, watched videos about how the balloons were created, and then created their own balloon creations for their first Thanksgiving parade! Special thanks to our parade attendees!
