Celebrating Balloons over Broadway!

On the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, both fifth grade classes celebrated the book Balloons over Broadway by Melissa Sweet.  It's a beautifully illustrated biography about Tony Sarg and how he invented the balloons for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.  After listening to the story, students were asked to create their own balloon based on any book at Upham Library.  They were given a balloon, tissue paper, sharpies and glue (so.... so much glue...!).

After an hour, we had a library filled these awesome creations (and so much glue!!!):
