It's Friday...Friday...(you know how it goes?) Happy weekend everyone. What a great week it was albeit a tad short. Our Terry Fox run and Cops for Cancer events yesterday were successful and thanks to all for your generous donations. Parents: I still have not received everyone's email. Please ask your child where to send this to me. (see welcome page - email for parents) Homework/Reminders Today was a very exciting day! We connected with our global friends. Hopefully next week there will be even more of our global friends online. We introduced ourselves and already have learned that one of our global classes lives in a very small town in the Olympic Peninsula and their school includes Kindergarten to grade 12.

Write any topic you wish...this is your time to reflect, talk about your thoughts, feelings, dreams, wishes, things that bother you, etc. I gave some examples in class if you didn't have anything on your mind. eg. have you had a conflict with someone already? have you felt left out? have you felt that something is unfair, is there something you would like to change?

My predictions did not change, I thought that the gorillas name was Ivan, and the elephants name was Stella and I thought that they were in a circus/zoo enclosure or something like that.

I think that Ivan will try to protect Stella, but for some reason, I have a bad feeling that something will go wrong, and Stella might get hurt, or die :(.

My predictions are, because Ivan is a silverback it's in his nature to protect so he will adopt the elephant as his family. Also they might escape the circus back to their home.

I think it will be about a Gorilla that has been living in a circus for all his life and then an elephant comes to the circus for him to take care of

My perdiction's changed because I thought that they where out in the wild and that he has a friend who is a elephant and that they find a girl gorilla named stella and then in the book trailer I saw no other gorillas so I just changed my perdiction that the elephant's name is stella.

I agree with Mew I thought I saw another gorilla/monkey who might cause trouble,The other possibility is that Stella and Ivan have to escape the circus and protect each other/Ivan protect Stella and himself,maybe they get caught by poachers, bandits, outlaws etc, and escape. Maybe in the end they get to the wild via train plane, or automobile.

After watching this video, or trailer, my updated predictions were: Ivan, a gorilla, doesn't have anyone to protect or care for because he has been working for over 9,800 days (which is over 26 years, if I am doing my math correctly). I don't know why but I don't think that Stella is the elephant in that trailer (I literally have no idea why I think this), I'll probably be wrong though. I think this elephant has been kidnapped or captured so it is up to Ivan to save him and her. To finish off the "happy-ending", Ivan saves the elephant.

The prediction didn't change. I said that Ivan would be friends with an elephant named Stella, but I think Stella will get taken away from Ivan and he will go looking for Stella!!!!

I think the Gorilla is first a circus animal and is very lonely. Then the elephant comes and the Gorilla teaches it, protects it and makes it part of his family.

My prediction is that the Gorilla, Ivan has been at the circus for many years with no family but then a kidnapped elephant comes to the circus alone. As the days go by Ivan and Stella become really good friends,and consider them selfs family.
