Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for September 23, 2023

Protest that grade, Will Henry! You can’t possibly make an F here.

Our neighbor planted butterfly friendly plants…we have Monarchs again! They were so common when I was a kid. Thrilled to see them again

Bow down to the King!

It’s a day….first of Autumn…

F. Will Henry. The Fitzgerald of our times.

The kids look like my cats when a moth gets in the house – not that I have that many cats!

Poor Seagull, stuck outside again, still looking for some cake.

Oh, no! Will Henry got an F on his paper!

Wallace: Any excuse to go outside!

Possibly Seagull was planning on eating the butterfly but it escaped him!

Quick thinker. Not a bad idea…..

That’s magical moment that change everything.

I agree w/Wallace

This is why they invented Window screens (actually I think mosquitos were the inspiration).

Let’s quit while we’re ahead.

How about a lesson on how to not become distracted? Of course, where’s the fun in that?

Teachable moment….all about monarchs.

Am I the last one to find out about the latest (#5) Wallace the Brave book will be released in 1 month!!?

I bought some fennel for my vegetable garden once and let it go to seed. Every year I let the new plants grow in with the rest of the veggies. It really brings in a variety of insects. I see the swallowtails laying eggs on it, and this year one patch had several caterpillars, at least two of which became chrysalis and turned to butterflies. A first for me!

Sometimes when the weather was nice (sunny and not too cold) we might get a teacher to let us go early so we could enjoy a longer recess.
