          The Gingerbread Man in Nice, France

This project was developed with a friend of the author, a recently retired primary teacher, Carolyn French. She was looking for a way to share some of the wonderful teaching units she had developed over the years.  Her project-based learning philosophy is reflected in the activities presented here. We hope you enjoy using them with your students. We recommend using Firefox as your browser with this project.
