A GT Thanksgiving and Bonus Riddle

Today in honor of Thanksgiving we took the Gifted and Talented Class to the back pasture (yes our school has a pasture, doesn't everyone's) to find items in nature and offer their own 3-D rendition of a turkey out of them. The kids found all kinds of great bark, berries, fungi, leaves, and pebbles to build their Turkeys out of. Some kids are making it an image on Construction paper, and some are trying more of the free-form sculpture. Either way it is a fun activity for any kid to do, and there is no wrong answer. If you are looking for a great project (or just want to get the rugrats out of the house for a bit) this is perfect. Hopefully next week I can post some turkey sculpture pics for all to try and identify and enjoy.

Riddle for the day:A man is trapped in a room. The room has only two possible exits: two doors. Through the first door there is a room constructed from magnifying glass. The blazing hot sun instantly fries anything or anyone that enters. Through the second door there is a fire-breathing dragon. How does the man escape?
