In Grade Three!

HOWDY-HOWDY-HOWDY!  It was so much fun being a cowpoke in Ms. Clack’s classroom today!  The students sometimes sit an area they call “the Campfire Circle.” They “Round Up” word wall words and “lasso” good books.  I found it amazing to watch them listening to my adventures.  They seem to just LOVE-LOVE-LOVE my story!  Later, while rolling on the floor, I gave myself quite a headache as I bumped into chair legs and walls. This made the students giggle. I was happy to be back in my cozy cage.  They were very gentle with me as I was tuckered out from all my activity.  As I settled down for my morning sleep I heard someone whisper, “He’s the best hamster in the west!” YEE HAW-YEE HAW-YEE HAW!

 

 

Today, I spent the afternoon in Mrs. Inaba’s class. It was the perfect class to be in on a cold, wintery day. Instead of looking outside at the snow, I found myself looking at the “beachy” things in the classroom and it made me feel WARM-WARM-WARM! The students were so excited to meet me and once again, I impressed them all with my amazing rolling ability!  I have to say it never ceases to amaze me to see all the different types of shoes kids wear nowadays . . . red ones, blues ones and even pink ones!! After recess, I went to Computers with Mr. Scott and the students. They were checking out my blog as I explored the Computer lab in my ball. It was FUN-FUN-FUN! Poor Mrs. Inaba. I think I may have given her a heart-attack! When she opened the door to come in, I rolled right passed her and into the hallway. She quickly put me back and closed the door. Then I decided to give Mr. Scott a scare! When no one was looking, I popped the lid off my ball and started to run around the Computer lab! (Both Mrs. Inaba and Mr. Scott should have paid more attention to the first tip I gave them about hamsters being skillful “escape artists”!)  I can’t wait to see who I will meet tomorrow . . .

When Mrs. Chase came to get me I was so excited! She let me run around in my ball in the library.  Two preschool boys where there.  They would scream every time I rolled toward them.  Imagine, big boys screaming at little ole me!  Mrs. Chase explained that they weren't screaming because they were scared, but excited. 

Stop-Screaming-Giffin had to go with his dad and the bell rang for the end of the day.  Mrs. Chase put me in my cage and I was STARVING and DIRTY!  When your ball is your bathroom AND your cage, things can get a little dirty.  Everyone thought I was so cute when I was eating and washing myself.  I tell you when you're the STAR there is NO-NO-NO privacy!  How does a hamster get a break from all the attention?  Mrs. Chase has turned into the PAPARAZZI!
