Have a classroom Thanksgiving Day Parade!
Make learning fun with this Thanksgiving STEAM challenge in which students build a New York City Landmark! An excellent companion activity to the fall read aloud book Balloons Over Broadway by Melissa Sweet.
Students plan, design, and execute their own ideas. After they have completed their activity, there is time for reflection on what worked and what didn't.
After the landmarks are created, have a classroom Thanksgiving Day Parade in their own model of New York City!
