The 3rd grade students recently completed an ELA unit about the history of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Then they read the book "Balloons Over Broadway" and were inspired to create their own balloon characters for a parade.

3rd grade PARADE VIDEO BALLONS OVER BROADWAY THUMBNAIL
Our 1st graders have been learning about the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag tribe this week. We’ve been exploring what life was like in the 1600s and how different it was from the way we live today. One big difference we discussed was how people made their clothing. Both Native Americans and Pilgrims sewed their own garments, so today we practiced a simple straight stitch! Students used burlap with their initials, plastic sewing needles, and yarn to try this skill out. It was a wonderful hands-on activity that helped strengthen their fine motor skills, listening, and patience.

Oran High School has a new Sewing Club this year. Our 4 members just completed their 1st project-tote bags. Students practiced sewing basics, learned new skills, and created something they can use every day. We’re so proud of their hard work and creativity. Excellent work by all our student makers! 🪡🦅
