Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade -- Concrete style!

Last week we learned about the history of the Macy's Parade. The first parade took place in 1924 with many of the Macy's employees. They dressed up and marched 6 miles with several animals from the Central Park Zoo! Ever since then, it's been a holiday tradition. The annual parade was put on hold from 1942-1944 because of WW2, but made a big comeback in 1945. Today thousands of people help make this event happen!

The students' assignment was to create their own balloon or float for our version of the Macy's Parade. They really let their creative juices flow!! I absolutely loved every single one of them!!


























After lunch, we got to parade all through the school! Thank you to all the kindergarten teachers for letting us show off our hardwork.












 Who knows? Maybe we've started our own Thanksgiving tradition at Concrete! :)
