Celebrate Doggy Day!

Our class recently did some research about holidays:  Mardi Gras, Chinese New Year, and Earth Day.  For a final activity, each 1st grade class created our own new holiday.  Our class decided on Doggy Day to celebrate dogs for all the love and help they give people.  We came up with symbols and special events that people could participate in.  And today all the 1st grade classes got together and had a holiday parade to share our holiday creations with the rest of the school.  We carried a banner to show some of the most important ideas about what dogs do for us and what we can do for them!
