Hello Everyone,

There will be a bit of a change of plans when it comes to our Teams meeting today. Originally in our call yeseterday I had said that we would be starting at 9 again today and looking at a few new things. I now have another meeting that I must attend at 9 this morning. I will be posting and assigning to Teams, the math and Remembrance Day reading that we were going to look at. I would like the students to look at these things themselves this morning and I will be move our meeting to 10am for those students who have questions. 

Today I will be looking for:

- Math: completing the math that was sent out yesterday as well as giving the new math a try using the strategies we have already learned

- lalilo: One completed lesson

- French Reading: I would like all students to do their best reading the Remembrance day writing piece

I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday

Mlle. Alley

Question: Please respond to the quote from the book. You can do this either on teams or on a piece of paper and send it to me.

Drawing: We are drawing a picture of Ivan, our main character, based on the description given in the book.

Here is the section of the book that these two pages are referring to:

How I look

I used to be a wild gorilla, and I still look the part.

I have a gorilla's shy gaze, a gorilla's sly smile. I wear a snowy saddle of fur, the uniform of a silverback. When the sun warms my back, I cast a gorilla's majestic shadow.

In my size humans see a test of themselves. They hear fighting words on the wind, when all I'm thinking is how the late-day sun reminds me of a ripe nectarine.

I'm mightier than any human, four hundred pounds of pure power. My body looks made for battle. My arms, outstretched, span taller than the tallest human.

Today we will be having a bit of a longer teams meeting to allow us to look at a few new things together as a class. Our meeting will begin at the same time as normal 9am and end some time between 10:30-11am. Here is the note about our meeting:
