State Float Parade

Andrew and his float - Arizona.

May 24, 2011 proved to be a day to remember! When the floats began to arrive, everyone milled around, "ooing and aahing" at the floats. We could see what third graders learned and the creative ways they turned their wagons or other movable devices into floats. The morning was filled with singing, people peering at floats, and huge smiles on the faces of third graders. The audience's curiosity was piqued when they saw the floats paraded around the gym. Once people were able to get up close to the floats, the room was buzzing with questions and answers, and many complements. So many people were impressed by students' creativity and knowledge of their state. I was also impressed! I know how hard third graders worked to do research and get the travel brochures just right. Together we produced an exciting, informative, and creative parade. I am so proud of all of my third grade students!
