Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for June 19, 2024

Purple Seagull right in front! LOL!!

Too hot to run.

She’s not eyeballing both of you Wallace. Just you. Spud just happens to constantly be where you are.

So, you’re making a GAME out of it, eh?

Spud doesn’t walk fast let alone ( shudder) run….

Wallace doesn’t have to outrun the teacher, he just has to outrun Spud.

Profiling, Mrs. Macintosh?

it is hot

It’s unusually hot here, too. We are having a grill day at work today; my boss and coworker are cooking up burgers and hotdogs for the whole building, and I’m making fruit salad!

Spud’s the only one that doesn’t look happy about going outside.

I did that when I was a teacher. The idea that they could be marched back inside kept the class on their best behavior.

My bet would be on Amelia, not Wallace & Spud. Although Wallace did try to make a break recently sooo

Run?! In this heat?!

“Do I look like I run?” Heh-heh. Heh.

Spud has to be in a panic to run, it’s happened before.

Wallace: “Can I at least make you work for it?”

70’s are fine for me, but anything over that is too hot…

Purple Spud is the only kid who’s unamused.

A good teacher knows when to call a break.

Spud has a point.

It’s 100 degrees here in New Hampshire. I am on my couch in the air conditioning reading.

“And if you make me run in this heat, you will learn that summer detention is very much a thing.”

Okay everyone, on the count of three scatter. She can only catch one of us.

In Worcester, MA, the last day of school was going to be tomorrow, Thursday. But today is the Juneteenth holiday, and there’s a heat wave, AND they don’t have working AC in a lot of the schools — so yesterday was the last day of the school year there.

High heat up there is like when Seattle Wa. got over 100 degrees for a week. All of the shellfish at tide level died and then they had dead shellfish smell for weeks.

If anyone would make a run for it, it would be Amelia.

Gold Star?!? Is Wallace on that list? Spud? Seagull?

No, but Wallace does!

I remember those halcyon days at UC Santa Barbara in the 70s. To prove you were a truly liberal arts professor (or teaching assistant) you had to hold at least one class a quarter outside. :)

She knows her class. But Amelia will be the one doing something bad.
