Ever since I was a young girl, I've been fascinated with hot air balloons. There was a annual festival near my hometown and we would see the balloon floating through the rolling Green Mountains during the month of June. I found this video clip and had my 3rd grade students watch how magical this experience is. We "ooooed" and awwwwwwed" at the balloons lifting up into the sky and flying through the lush Vermont landscape and tried to replicate what we saw through a watercolor painting.
