Question of the Day-February 13

It has been such a busy day that I almost forgot to post the question for today!  I was distracted by all of the little 100 year-old people that have entered our school today.  Happy-happy-happy 100 day grade ones and twos!

Chapter 14
When Humphrey first learns that he will be spending the Thanksgiving break with Mrs. Brisbane, he thinks he will see a "House of Horrors".  The the end of the break, Humphrey was looking forward to coming back to her house at Christmas.  What made Humphrey change his mind?

Question of the day-February 11

Chapter 12

Only 4 chapters left!  I can't believe we are almost done this book!

Humphrey freaked out when he heard who was taking him home over the 4-day break.  Do you think Humphrey should be nervous?  What do you think will happen to Humphrey when he spends the weekend with Mrs. Brisbane?

Have you read Humphrey's blog and found our what he did on our extra long weekend?  You should check it out.  He had an encounter with an elastic band and a CAT!

Question of the Day-February10

We are down to the last 5 chapters in Humphrey!  It is so exciting!  I love how Humphrey has been helping all of the families that he has been visiting!  In Chapter 11 the Thomas's find themselves without television.  At first they wine and complain, but they find other things to do.  Do you think people watch too much TV?  What would you do instead of watching TV?


Happy reading!  Stay warm-warm-warm!

I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE the hamster facts we have been learning about at the end of each chapter.  Does non-fiction facts about hamsters make the book more enjoyable?  What is your favorite hamster fact?  Do you have any hamster facts to share with us?
