When I taught 3rd Grade, I would read Milly and the Macy’s Parade and spin it into a mini- unit on traditions and immigration. I was sad to leave it behind when I moved up to 4th grade this past Fall. Needless to say, I was VERY excited when I came across this. My class LOVED it! (And I am thrilled to still be teaching about the parade!)
