Cool Questions

This week we read more of the One and Only Ivan. I have a lot of questions for you.

1. What would you draw if you where Ivan?

I would draw what it looks like in the summer and the flowers that is see and the grass that I smell.

2. What joke would you tell Ruby?

I would tell her a knock knock joke.

3. How would you help Stella feel better?

I would make her remember times when she was in the wild and free.

This is someone helping someone feel better

Super Summary

  Friday, March 11, 2016
 
In the beginning, Ivan does not know any tricks. He draws, so people buy his drawings even though they do not know what the drawings are. Then, it had been two days since anyone had come to visit, but a new animal came. Her name is Ruby. Ruby is an elephant. Next, Julia comes to Stella and Ruby's domain and draws Ruby. At the end, Ivan and Ruby start talking about how they got separated from their families.

Awesome Animals

I read part of a book called The One and Only Ivan. These were interesting pictures that you can look at all.
I chose two elephants because Ruby and Stella live in the same domain. A domain is their home. I also chose 5 gorilla's because in all of Ivan's brothers and sisters, there were 5. I chose a picture of an animal domain because all of the animals live in a domain. One reason I chose a chihuahua was because it said Bob had big ears, so this made me think of a chihuahua.

Strong and Confident Dogs

At the beginning of the book, The One and Only Ivan, Bob said, "I might be small but I have large teeth!" My Text-to-World connection is in the movie Beverly Hills Chihuahua. In this movie Papi says, "We might be small dogs but we can do big things."

Later in the book Stella protected Ruby from getting hit with a broom. My Text-to-Self connection is that my dog, Jag, would protect me if anyone tried to hurt me just like Stella protected Ruby.

            

Amazing Animals

We are reading the One and Only Ivan and I decided to researched elephants and gorillas because they are pat of the book. Elephants are losing their habitat because people are destroying it, there are less elephants everyday because of that. Most elephants eat crops, they are mostly found in the savanna.  When an elephant family is all together it is called a herd.
I also researched gorillas because there is a gorilla in the story. There are 4 kinds of gorillas. Gorillas have long arms and these are longer than their legs. They are herbivores. An adult male gorilla is called a "Silver Back."
Now you know more about elephants and gorillas!

This is what Stella and Ruby look like!

This is what Ivan looks like!

Ivan, A Cool Gorrila

March 9, 2016

I am the Discussion Director and I thought of some questions about this week's reading.
    1. How would you feel if you thought you were the only person alive?
    2. How would you feel if you were alone and then you find someone who is related to you?
    3. Why do you think Ivan's picture are so cool?

Please let me know what you think!

This is a gorilla in its domain that looks like a jungle.
