Our second full day in Doha was a whirlwind of excitement and learning. After breakfast, we were driven to the American School of Doha.
We had so much fun touring a school that was similar to but also very different from ours! We were very pleased to see the students in a fifth grade math class learning how to do multiplication the exact same way we are!

| And they got to write on the table with Expo Marker! |
We also toured the Middle School and High School buildings that were right next door. The kids in the Elementary School have so many opportunities to work with the older kids in a collaborative manner!

The library was set up like ours, too. We saw many books that we recognized, including "Diary of a Wimpy Kid", "Catching Fire", and The Divergent Series.
 |
| Student art work was on display! |
After lunch at the biggest mall either of us have ever been to (The 100,000 sq. meter Villagio Mall could hold over 1,200 of our classrooms!) we went to the Qatar-Finland International School to see how kids learn in a school modeled after the schools of Finland!

And when we got back to our hotel, we walked to the grocery store to stock up on snacks. Here is a view of the street we walked along.

We ended our night with a traditional Qatari meal of beef and shrimp hibachi. Mmmm-mmm-mmm!
