Mrs. Godfrey: Nate's suggestion is a good one! We'll VOTE on a name for our gerbil as a study in democracy! Mrs. Godfrey: And since this is SOCIAL STUDIES, I think his name should have some sort of historical significance! Mrs. Godfrey: Write down the name of a famous figure from history and pass it in! Teddy: Roosevelt. Francis: Hannibal. Nate: Is 'Shaq" spelled with a "Q" or a "ck"?
