We had a fantastic day and the kids demonstrated a tremendous amount of focus as we dealt with the energy and business of ski and skate sale preparations. This morning, I read the kids a book called Balloons Over Broadway. This book was about the person responsible for developing the Macy's
Day Parade, and the use of the character balloons we see today. It was a wonderful book that also focused on the tradition and history of the parade. The students were then asked to create their own balloon for the parade and through a variety of means, created an image of the being the puppeteer of their balloon. This proved to be a very exciting and imaginative project, and the kids worked for over 90 minutes strictly focused on this. It was very excited to see their creations. We will finish these next Friday and also work on a writing piece for the artwork.
I hope you have a great weekend.
Peace,
Tom
