one day about a month ago, max brought home paddington bear from school.  bringing home paddington is a reward if you have done something kind or if you have been really good in school.  paddington bear came with a book.  he likes to travel so you are supposed to write a story about where you would take paddington on vacation.  max wrote about how he would take him to tahoe to go skiing in the winter time and drew paddington on a pair of skiis.  it was cute and max was very proud to have been sent home with paddington bear!
