The froggy friends will be traveling with the Gingerbread Man to his many adventures in other countries. The GBM will share books, videos, songs, foods, crafts, etc. to make the learning meaningful. Sometimes we even have a guest visitor! The students will have the opportunity to journal about the GBM's travels. This is an exciting way to learn about countries and cultures.</div>

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">This
week we learned about Native Americans. We are having fun learning
our Native American names...mine is Chief Big Foot! We will call each
other by our names for the month of November. The students are earning
feathers just like some Native Americans. We learned how to play Stick
Dice, a Native American game.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">We
worked on our critical thinking skills with this math activity. The
students had to figure out how many triangles, squares, trapezoids, and
hexagons they could make using a certain number of popsicle sticks.</span></div>
