Balloons balloons and more balloons!

Again in fifth grade this year, we celebrated the book Balloons over Broadway, by Melissa Sweet (see last year's blog post).  It's a beautifully illustrated book using collage.  The book is 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 a favorite library book.  They were given a balloon, tissue paper, sharpies and glue (so much glue!).
