The GBM is in GERMANY!

We did some gingerbread man science.  What happens when the GBM get wet?

We learned how to measure accurately.

We are mixing!

Ready for the oven!

A yummy gingerbread treat!

We made growing tannenbaums.

Did you know the Christmas tree tradition originated in Germany?  They used candles to light the trees.  Yikes!

We can't wait to see where the GBM will travel next!

GBM VISITS THE USA!

The GBM travels to the USA before going out of the country.  Here are some of the activities from the USA.

Here's the GBM and his travel suitcase.

The GBM brought us books about the United States.

The GBM brought us symbols of the USA.

We made handprint flags with an AB border.

We made a tasty flag.  The recipe is from makinglearningfun.

We read this pocket chart about the USA.  As we visit more countries we will add to this pocket chart.

 

 

 The students made the flag of the USA and added a page to their travel journal.  

Again, I forgot to take a picture :(

TRAVELING WITH THE GBM!

At the beginning of the year the students make a a suitcase and passport so they can be ready to travel with the GBM.  Here's what we do and need to prepare.

I read this version of the GBM because instead of the fox eating him at the end, he runs away.  We find this note at the end of the book and this is how our journey begins.

We sing about the continents with the help of Dr. Jean.

Here's our big globe we use when singing.  We will label the countries on the globe as we travel with the GBM.

Here are some more maps.  These maps are attached to the ceiling above our pond (meeting place) so we can refer to them when we talk about where the GBM is visiting and find his location.

We read this book to help us understand the importance of maps.

Each student makes a suitcase to hold their travel journal, passport, and flags from all the countries the GBM will visit.

Here's a picture of our Geography Center.

GBM Visits Brazil!

The GBM is in Brazi!  We learned about the Amazon Rain Forest, we made masks for carnival, and made a rain stick.

View our carnival parade!
