Question of the Day January 31

Chapter 5

Mr. Morales and Humphrey worked together to teach his children politeness and cooperation.  Have you ever had to work together with someone to teach others a lesson or to learn a lesson?

Did you know that Humphrey is going to spend the weekend with "The Most Important Woman in the World"?  If Humphrey thinks Mr. Morales is "The Most Important Man in the World", who would the most important woman be?

I'm sure he will have FUN-FUN-FUN this weekend!

Question of the Day January 30

Chapter 4

We have read about students who all have nicknames. (Pay-Attention-Art, Stop-Giggling-Gail, Repeat-that-Please-Richie).  Why does Humphrey think that these are the children's names?  What would Humphrey call you?


I love the names that Humphrey calls the students in Room 26.  I think that if I was in Room 26 Humphrey would call me "Stop-Reading-Larinda".  I was always reading when I was in elementary school and the teacher would often have to tell me to put my book away.  Sometimes she would even take it away from me.  Imagine, that!  A teacher taking away a book!

I hope you are having a great time with Humphrey!

FYI: Did you know that Humphrey follows Ms Knibb around in his ball when she is sweeping the halls at night?

Question of the Day January 27

Hello Galbraith Students!  I am very excited that you are starting to read "The World According to Humphrey"!  I love Humphrey and I think you will enjoy reading about this furry creature.  Every day I will post a question about the chapter you read that day.  Make sure you comment with your answer!

Question #1

At the end of the chapter we read a tip about hamsters being skillful escape artists who are very difficult to find.  Why do you think the author tells us this about hamsters?  What do you think will happen as we continue to read?
