Andy:
He entertains Gingy and makes her do funny things ... but ... he throws Gingy and makes Diane angry sometimes.

Bryan:
He entertains Gingy, and makes her do funny things, but throws Gingy and makes Diane angry, though a lot more times.
Nathan:
He doesn't do much about Gingy, sometimes just helps out Andy and Bryan. He does say bad things about Gingy, which makes her angry.

Richard:
He doesn't do much about Gingy either. He says a few things bad about Gingy though.

Who do you think likes Gingy the best?

The Mission
Yippee! Time for a field trip! Diane takes her beloved Gingy on a field trip to Mission San Juan Bautista. Gingy explores the mission.

THE LOST GINGY

Gingy was bored in Diane's backpack and wanted to explore. Out she jumped and wandered around...but then...got tired after awhile and couldn't find Diane. She thought, “Whaaaaa! I'm lost forever!” Then Helen, a classmate of Diane's, found Gingy and picked her up. Diane was thinking, “This stupid field trip made me lose Gingy.” A minute later, Helen came and said, “I thought this was yours.”

The STAR Testing

Doesn't everyone know that it's the dreadful STAR Testing time? Easy or hard? It seems easy for most. But last year people were saying it was easy too, though a fourth grader told Gingerbread Weekly News, “I thought it was so easy. But in August last year, the scores came out. I got something around 490 to 500 [out of 600] in language. My family went to check what I got wrong and I only got 3 problems wrong! I believe it [STAR Testing] isn't all that easy, but it still seems to be this year.”

Do you think STAR Testing is easy or hard?
