I was asked this way too early (for me) this morning. As I was helping kids get started on their day and finishing their school breakfasts and ordering lunches and taking attendance and assigning student account numbers to classroom computers to new teachers and greeting sleepy children and their parents.

I try to be patient and polite but I know I had a very glazed over look on my face. Wolf Awareness? Huh? There is something I should know about wolves this early in the morning? Surely all the wolves are sleeping in now as all the little human children are back in school and the zoo keepers and farmers are doing something for the wolves. Aren't they?

October sometime is Wolf Awareness week. Do I have any plans? Actually I am still wondering how I am going to teach the kidlets how to do centers and discern who knows their sight words and who is ready to read Dickens/Tolstoy, I have no plans to raise awareness for wolves at this moment in the morning.

We did see some Mexican wolves at Binder Park this summer, did they know that October was their awareness week?

Probably just a collision of brains that are still in sleep modes.
