The Educator’s Guide to Gum is a terrific tool for teachers and group leaders, suitable for use in the classroom as well as in informal learning environments.
I’m a gum-aholic, if there is such a thing. I chew gum and mint as if it was going out of style. I like having minty fresh breath and hate the smell of coffee breath. Sure, it is a cover-up, but I enjoy it. But where does gum come from? How do you make it? What makes it so darn effective? These questions and more are all included in Glee Gum’s educator guide.
Never heard of Glee gum? Well, here’s a lesson for you! Glee Gum is an all natural gum you can make right at home. Say what? Yes.
