The World According to Humphrey - Blog - Chapter 1

October 22, 2012

At the end of he 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 predict will happen as we continue to read.

To give the kids more tips about hamsters and what to do because Mrs.Brisbane will not even try to take care of any "RODENT".

Cool

 Faith B. dalby   Tue, October 23, 2012

To try and help the kids learn more about hamster because Ms. Brisbane isn't going to try to take care of Humphrey so it's the kids responsibility.

Sure

 Faith B. Dalby   Tue, October 23, 2012

I think Humphrey is going to escape from his cage because his lock doesn't work and his new teacher don't like Rodents.

 Payton   Mon, October 22, 2012

I agree with you, Payton. Sometimes authors give us little hints about what is coming next. If you put the escape tip together with the fact his cage has a lock that doesn't lock, I think Humphrey will escape and cause everyone to worry about where he is.

 Mrs. Dunn   Tue, October 23, 2012

I think the author tell us that we should take care of hamsters because she loves hamsters too. predict: I think humphrey will NOT get out of his cage because i think mrs.mac will MIGHT come back at the end of chapter 2.

 Ian Mr.Dalbys class   Tue, October 23, 2012

I think the reason why he put details about hamsters is because the rodent and how it will act and how they care about then

 Abbi Dalby   Tue, October 23, 2012

I think that Humphrey will get out of his cage.I think the author tells us those facts because it could help us understand more about what we are going to read and I predict that he will get out and Mrs.Mac will have to come back to find him.

 Jenna 4-D   Tue, October 23, 2012

I think that they might have an nother school that won't to gat the hamster they don't wont to get red of it and that school that won't to give it away and they bought it then they can keep it because its there's and they pad for it and that give them a resen to keep the pet put they really don't have to give away the hamster if they don't wont to.

 Michelle 15   Tue, October 23, 2012

I think that the author told us about hamsters because they wanted us to know that their great escape artists because maybe later on I'm the story Humphrey will escape because ms. Brisbane doesn't like " rodents " and Humphreys lock on his cage has never worked.
