 * After reading about Stella, our class decided a good way to express how they were feeling about her passing was to create a Voki. The students chose between making it of themselves or a character. Here are a couple of examples. You can see more by visiting the "A Look In Our Classroom Window" page on our class wiki at [|www.margsang.pbworks.com]. **

Mrs. Gomboz's Third Grade Class Connecticut-Ivan description

Here are our predictions (Mrs. O'Toole's Class in Midlothian, VA)...

How could Ruby’s example of good people in the Africa who helped her out of the hole give clues to what will happen later in the story? What might happen? Kayla-Maybe the Big Top Mall will make Ruby do a circus trick and Ruby may mess up. She may get hit by the claw stick. Ivan will help her do the trick. Faith-Ruby will be doing tricks and when she messes up she will get hit with the claw stick. Ivan will help her. They will eventually find a way to escape and Ivan will take care of Ruby. Olivia-George will buy or help them escape. Maybe they will be set free in the wild.
