Jan 27-31

Today is the day!  Grant woke me up this morning with, "Mom, today is January 27 and I've been counting.  Today is the day that Humphrey comes to school - a real live hamster."  My reply was, "No, honey, I don't think a live hamster is coming to school, but today we do start our One School One Book project of reading 'The World According to Humphrey.'"  He was certain that a real live hamster was going to be here today and when we walked into the school there was a different feeling this morning. 

Yes, we had an assembly today to kick off the beginning of our One School One Book and we were privledged to meet up with the school's newest member - Humphrey!  He is so cute!  Today in class we read chapter one and found out who this Humphrey character is.  If you have a moment, stay connected to the school and follow along with Humphrey's blog by clinking this link.  Lastly, don't forget to ask your child their new name - according to Humphrey.
