Happy Wolf Friday!

Here's today's wolf shirt. Here's my favorite Amazon review of it.  The kids named the biggest one "Colonel Francisco".  The smaller one in the middle is named "Rufus", and the other smaller one is "The Situation."

Fifth period managed to talk me into letting them draw a wolf on their quiz for extra credit.  Pushover - very much.

Speaking of High Standards

Personally, I wonder what would happen if teenage girls obsessed more about...well...anything...than they do about boys. 

A Birthday Card for Jaqueal

Today is Jaqueal's birthday, and two of his friends made him this card.  He wanted it on the blog along with a picture of him, which I lack, so Jaqueal give me a picture and I'll add it.  Happy birthday to you AND to Wesley!

An answer to the question "Describe the production of cars in 1932, especially in comparison to that of other years":

The Majestic Wolf

Today I wore my "Three Wolf Moon" shirt. The kids were in awe. We named the wolves:

• Rafael (the "mysterious" looking one on the bottom)
• Jorge ("just cuz, Miss Nelson")
• Kodiak ("because he's so domineering")

Also, they suggested that I make every Friday "Wolf Friday".
