These are my grade 5 students at Alexander Public School along with their plucky teacher Mme Auger. In the morning I taught Mme Dimarco’s grade 6s but they don’t have such a beautiful view from their classroom. We were discussing description in a story as mood creator. Mrs. Auger said when it snowed last week it felt like they were in one of those glass globes that you shake. With all that light, sitting on top of the world I wonder if I can inspire them even more.

It’s a five hour drive to Sudbury but you don’t notice it when you’re listening to a nine hour unabridged book. It was called The Secret Between Us. How annoying when
at about the sixth disc, the voice gets garbled and the player goes silent.
Happily, I was close to Sudbury by then and heard that bit over again on my computer in the hotel. Then off I went to my first Imax Festival film called Beavers. And that’s what it was about. Who knew they made little whiny grunt sounds. And boy can the chop trees! I wonder how they film the critters and get them to just go about their business or maybe that accounts for the whiny grunts.
It was only about 40 minutes long so I topped the evening off with a long swim and soak in the hot tub, a little reading and then bed. Tomorrow Alexander Public School, and The Bears.
