With Thanksgiving coming, here's an idea if you're looking for an educational project to do with the Holiday. One Thanksgiving tradition in my house has been watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. My favorite part of the parade is the numbers from shows on Broadway. I also like seeing the huge helium balloons float down the streets of New York. Take this link to the tourist site about the Thanksgiving Parade and have the kids do some research on their favorite parts of the parade. What is required for the balloons to be in the parade? How much helium does it take to fill them? How many people are required to handle the balloons? Do a short research project and have the kids answer some questions about their favorite parade elements.
