Hello there! My name is Dumpling, and I’m the fluffiest, coolest, most observant little hamster you’ll ever meet. I live in Ms Strempel’s kindergarten classroom, K102 at Travis Elementary School and I have the best job in the world—I get to watch all the amazing things that happen here every day!

This year I’m starting something special: my very own journal. I’m going to log everything that happens in our classroom. I’ll be writing about all the fun activities, the new things we learn, and of course the adventures of all of the kids in class K102.

I’ll be keeping track of everything from the first day of school, to exciting projects, and even the funny and sweet moments that happen when no one’s looking (except me!). I can’t wait to share all the stories with you, one day at a time.

So, get ready for a year full of discoveries, friendships, and lots of fun. Every day is an adventure in kindergarten, and I’ll be here to make sure we remember it all. Welcome to Dumpling’s Journal—where the magic of our classroom comes to life!

With love and fluffy whiskers,

Dumpling
