Reading with Hercules

 You may have heard about how we recognize the students who are following our "rules for rockin'": do your best and do the right thing even when no one is watching.  Each time an adult wants to recognize a student, they write the student's name on a star.  These stars decorate the walls of the gym where we meet for our assemblies.  For each star earned, students get their name put into a bucket.  During assemblies, we draw two students to choose a book to keep and two students to read with Mrs. Ketzer's baby hedgehog, Hercules.  Reading with Hercules is different for each student.  Sometimes students like to hold him in a pouch; some students are more comfortable sitting next to him.  Either way, it is good for Hercules to meet people and learn about how nice they can be which helps him get over his shyness.  It is fun to see the students react to our little prickly friend.
