Our Garfield version of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade based on the book “Balloons Over Broadway” was such a fun hands on history lesson for our students yesterday.
Alison, Mariah, Xadriana, Aramiah and Evelyn all had lunch with Mrs Russell today. We enjoyed a lively conversation!
We made pumpkin pie in a cup today. We first looked at the recipe and made a prediction on whether we would like it or not. It was predicted that 13 of us would and 3 would not. After making and trying the dessert we found that 14 of us liked it and 2 did not.
The very hungry caterpillar was seen in today’s parade along with a snake, a balloon tower and a red pepper!
Garfield’s Balloons over Broadway event was fantastic! All of the students had so much fun making their balloons. The creativity is astounding!
Mrs. Tierney’s second graders celebrated friendship today by having a Friendsgiving meal together. This morning they shared all the things they like about one another and let their friends know how grateful we are for all of them.
These students saved their SWAG bucks to purchase eating lunch with the principal. They LOVE Mrs. Russell! 💙💛
More awesome balloons from talented second grade students! We even had a cactus balloon!
Happy Thanksgiving!
