The World According to Humphrey - Blog - Chapter 4

October 29, 2012

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?

He thinks those are the children's names because that is what the teacher is always saying to those students before she says their names. For example, she is always telling Art to pay attention, and she tells Gail to stop giggling.

Humphrey would probably call me it-will-be-ok-Ms. Martin.

Humphrey thinks these are the students' names because they don't do the things that they are supposed to do in school. Humphrey would call me Don't-look-at-your-friends-Jada.

I think that Humphrey is thinking that those are the chidrens name because Mrs.Brisbane say to the childeren (Repeat that please Richie)[Pay Attention Art]Stop giggling Gail.
I think Humphrey would call me kitty-cat

Sorry what i said what i meant is i think Humphrey thinks those are the children's names is because Mrs.Brisbane and Mrs.Mac say their names for their behavior.

Because that's what the teacher is telling the kids and then saying their names after! Humphrey would call you, "correct-your-work Justin!"

The teacher says those things to the students and Humphrey does'nt understand everything about humans. Since Mrs Baxter tells me to sit down a lot my name would be sit-down-Isaiah.

Humphrey calls the children those names because that is what he hears the teacher say before she says each child's name.

If Humphrey would have been in my class when I was a student he probably would have called me either; stop-arguing-Katherine or you'll-make a great-lawyer-Katherine.

I think Oreo the Guinea pig in our class now probably thinks my name is it's-over-ther-Ms.-Herman. I always set down my clipboard and whiteboard markers and forget where I put them. Fortunately my students always know where they are.

The reason why humphrey thinks those are the names of kids is because every time that specific person does anything the teacher says for example Raise-Your-Hand-Heidi, Stop-Giggling-Gail, Speak-Up-Sayeh, and Repeat-That-Please-Richie. The teacher only says that because thats what they do Heidi needs to raise his hand, Gail has to stop giggling, Sayeh has to speak up, and Richie needs to repeat thing cause he mumbles all the time.
He would call me Be-Quit-Aubrey or Pay-Attention-Coons

He thinks those are the kids names because the teacher always refers to the students that way. I'm wondering if our Black Hawk hamster heard names like that when she was visiting in our room yesterday.

Humphrey would probably call me work hard to get smarter-Mrs. Patterson.

i think ms brizbane calls them that because richie speaks quietly so they can hear them so thats how he got his name. i think humphrey would call me good-job-kamree or say-that-one-more-time-kamree? because i say stuff to much.

I think it's because the teacher always says their names like that. Like "stop-giggling-Gail" but his name is just Gail. Alligator Anika.

Humphrey thinks that these are nick names because the teacher says these to the students. Humphrey would call me Stop Talking Cierra.

He thinks that because that's what Mrs.Brisbane calls them
