Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

Can you believe Thanksgiving is already here?  Being from Massachusetts, especially from Cape Cod, makes this holiday even more special in my opinion.  I was born and raised in the true "first landing place of the pilgrims."  Growing up in Provincetown, the first landing place was pretty cool.  Did you know the pilgrims washed their clothes in Provincetown harbor?  Seems silly and cool all at the same time.  Have you ever climbed the steps of the Provincetown Monument?  There is a lot of history right here on our "little rock."  How do you and your families celebrate Thanksgiving?  What is your favorite part?
If any of you answered, "Watching the parade," then you are in luck.
Today we are going to take a look at this historic event.  We will start by taking a look at a "sneak peek" at this year's new additions.  This year is the 90th anniversary of the famous parade.  You are going to be given the opportunity to design one of those monstrous memorable balloons for the 100th anniversary parade in 10 years.  You will find a document of resources in your latest Google Classroom assignment.  At the end of class we will share your creations.  Can't wait to see them!!
Enjoy your time off and don't eat too much pie!!
