Balloons Over Broadway - Thanksgiving Floats STEM Challenge
11:58 PM
We had a crazy two days before Thanksgiving Break! The kids loved making Thanksgiving floats for this STEM Challenge! We started by reading the picture book, Balloons Over Broadway, by Melissa Sweet. This book talks about how those huge floats came to be used in the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade!
We also watched a few videos on-line so students could see the different floats! Many of my students had never seen them before and they were so amazed!
Students then got assorted styles of balloons, plastic balloon sticks, and tape so they could work as a team to make their own floats!
Here are some of their ideas!
