Hi there! It is me, Hamilton the Hamster. I know we are all reading about friendship according to Humphrey, but I want you to know about GES according to me!
It has been quite the journey here at GES! Humphrey assured me that I would have lots of fun and so far I have had so much to squeak about!
Humphrey dropped me off near Mrs. Breeding’s room. I started hanging out in my tubes most of day. All of those people were a little scary at first! Mrs. Darr and Mrs. Breeding talked so nicely to me and helped me figure out that it was safe here. They take me home on the weekends and give me lots of love!
This week I started to visit classrooms! The classrooms are the winners of the trivia that Mrs. Swann, our school principal, says over the announcements. I always have the answer. I quickly scurry back to write the answers down in my notebook! Humphrey made sure I had a notebook just like he does! No one else knows yet!
My first class visit was to Mrs. Gernert’s class. They cheered when I came in to see them! They really liked it when I raced around the classroom in my cool sports car. My next visit was to Mrs. Lease’s class. It was great fun too! I showed up in my school bus. When I squeaked, I knew that Mrs. Lease understood me. She let me out of my bus and boy was I free! I climbed all over her and on the desks! She sounded a little alarmed at first, but she talked so nicely to me and helped me find my way back to my cage.
Mrs. Brinsfield's class loved seeing me too. Ms. Hillard works in that class as well. She was so great at petting me! I ended my first week with Mrs. Rex. Her class was so quiet and cozy. She is a real animal lover! She even named me the "official classroom noise monitor" for the day! I was eager to learn and was excited that Mrs. Rex was teaching place value! By the end of the day, I drove my car on the double place value mat to show the students what I learned!
This week I was able to visit pre K, Kindergarten and 5th grade! Mrs. Anderson's pre K class LOVED me! Kindergarten enjoyed checking me out in my cage. I actually visited two classrooms that day. I strolled from Teacher Kneller to Mrs. Wilson. Those children looked at me A LOT!
5th graders are the oldest in the school! Mrs. Manship loved, loved, loved me! In her classroom, I tried the new attachment to my playground, but it definitely didn’t go as expected! I almost had my chance to get out of the playground and explore the whole school while the children were actually there, but Ms. Manship and Mrs. Dean worked together to stop my fun! Little do they know, I get out every night!
I can’t wait to see who I get to visit next!
Until Next Squeak!
Hamilton
