Springs’ Bear River Student Center held a Balloons Over Bear River parade (based on Melissa Sweet’s story about creating giant balloons for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade entitled “Balloons Over Broadway”) in which students design and build balloons using the engineering design process. The parade included a visit from Mrs. Santa Claus.
Additionally, the school held a Stone Soup community event in which each class, after a reading of Heather Forest’s Stone Soup, contributes a canned ingredient which is made into soup to be enjoyed with families during a picnic lunch.
