In English we took our Red Badge of Courage test. I will be grading and returning them before the Thanksgiving Day Break! Stay tuned
In Current Events, we learned about the history and logistics of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. What do you do on Thanksgiving morning? You might watch Macy's Parade. It is in New York City. This parade has floating, helium filled balloons. Snoopy will be there. You might see Dora. Kermit will be there. You might see Buzz or Shrek. There are giant floats. There are funny clowns. There are marching bands, too. The parade route is two miles long. Every year, about three million people are there. They watch it live. More than forty million Americans see it on TV. This parade began in 1924. There were no balloons or floats that year. It had live animals from the zoo. In 1969, the first floats were made. They are built in New Jersey. Some of them may be forty feet tall! They must be folded when they come into the city. The balloons are inflated the night before. Workers toil all night! They must be ready for the parade's nine o'clock start. More than four thousand volunteers help along the parade route. Macy's Parade is a tradition for many people. This packet is an informational that you will use to help you understand the tradition that entertains millions and millions of people! (EdHelper)
We watched the 85th anniversary special and took notes. We wrote down 14 relevant facts and shared them with the class. Here is the link below.
We also had an activity where they had to design their own float/balloon for the parade and it had to meet a certain criteria. Here are the questions they answered.

Day Parade. What would you choose? Why would you choose it? How can you justify
it to your bosses that this float will have the longevity of some of the
greatest floats in parade history.
