Our newest student has been named - Nick Furry! Apt designation for a one-eyed hamster. Also in the news this week, some of our students have built him a new home addition in the form of a hamster amusement park. We have also discovered collectively that Nick Furry is a "special" hamster. He likes to go in circles when he gets stressed out or really excited, and sometimes he just goes backwards, really fast, for no real reason.
Oh yeah, and... Algebra is happening too.

My 6th hour Honors Algebra class decided we needed a class pet. I did my best to dissuade them. They were persistent. They organized it. They fundraised for it. The researched. They did math and made charts to convince me. They bought it, they bought the food, they assembled the cage. They promised to clean it. I was outmatched from the start.
We now have a one-eyed hamster. I don't know it's name. It bit me. I feel like this is going to be a complicated relationship. But we do what we must... for the children. I guess. Stay tuned for further adventures in rat-adoption. ;) |
