We have gotten to the part in The One and Only Ivan where Ivan's (a gorilla who has been by himself in a cage in a mall for 27 years) message is finally being understood by George and Julia (his human friends)! At this part of the book Ivan's 'puzzle pieces' are finally coming together and the humans' have understood he painted pieces that say 'H-O-M-E" and are intended for the billboard. When asked how Ivan must be feeling, students replied with : glad, happy, grateful, confident and excited. What other words could be used to describe this more than happy emotion? Tiny Houses |
