Students in Mrs. Noble's room read the book: Balloons Over Broadway: The True Story of the Puppeteer of Macy's Parade By: Melissa Sweet
The students then designed and created their own balloon characters, programmed a robot to carry the balloon and filmed their balloon using a green screen. It was not easy to get the robot to carry the balloon correctly and many students had to start over several times after their balloon popped or fell over.
