Humphrey made some more classroom visits this morning! Be sure to finish chapters 14 and 15 this weekend. Here's a hint to last trivia question. I like Christmas gifts--I hope Humphrey does too!




The 4th and 5th graders had a virtual author visit from Ellen Potter. They learned some tricks and tips on how to be good writers. They even started their own story with a prompt from Mrs. Potter.


Here are the Chapter 12 trivia winners! Humphrey was awake when the students arrived this morning!
