Ladybug Nominnee #4: Neville

Poor Neville. His family moves to a new house in a new neighborhood and he has lost all his friends. Ask your student to explain the creative way Neville solves this problem and makes many new friends in a very short period of time! In several classes, there was great debate about whether Neville was being honest!

At one point, Neville "walks around the block" in his new neighborhood. We turned to GoogleMaps and annotated an image of Bristol to better understand this concept - because New Hampton doesn't have many neighborhood blocks!  Do you see the streets that Neville could have walked around? Students found lots of reasons why that would be called a "block"!

One student suggested that the fleet of yellow school busses looked like sticks of butter! We equated this view of town to what a bird must see as he flies over!
