What did Phoebe lose?  Why was that important to her?

How did Humphrey possibly solve 2 problems for Phoebe?

Nov 28-Dec 2  Chapters 11-14

How did Mr. E. change as a teacher? Why did he change?

What lesson(s) do you think we can learn from Humphrey in this book? (There could be more than one!) What text evidence supports this lesson?

What character trait would you use to describe the character of Humphrey? What text evidence supports this trait?

#QuinneyReads #ReadEverywhere

We are asking families to send us pictures of your child reading to eqoffice@kaukaunasd.org

We are gathering pictures of teachers, staff, and students reading their favorite book in whatever location (house, outside, in a different state, etc) they enjoy reading at. In your email, please attach ONE PHOTO, include your CHILD'S NAME, GRADE/CLASSROOM TEACHER, and the name of the location they are reading in and/or who they are reading with (dog, cat, sibling, etc)

 We will create a schoolwide slideshow that will will be presented on our daily announcements and in the cafeteria.  Here are examples of teacher photos and how we will format them once received.  Students can be reading the Humphrey book or ANY Book in their picture.

December is Here!

Let's have some fun and we countdown to Winter Break!  Students are invited to join in the EQ 16 Days of December 2022 spirit dress-up days for Electa Quinney!
