Shop Class; Wednesday, Third Period [11/02].

So the thing about having a very small class was that it was kind of noticeable when one of the students wasn't there. Because one of the students was literally half the class.

"But he is here!" Graham cheerfully informed her, lifting up his arm to prove it. "He's just a bat!"

The bat on his arm who was allegedly Guillermo let out a few sleepy squeaks, because he was already starting to feel much more nocturnal.

"He just said hello," Graham translated, helpfully. "This has been really helpful for me brushing up on my bat language!"

And Amaya was just going to take a moment to massage her forehead and try to reroute her plan for the class, because she was about to send them into another multi-class unit, but, somehow, she didn't think teaching a bat how to whittle would be very effective, but that whittling lead into some other things, so she took a moment to consider what they haven't really worked on that wouldn't leave Guillermo in the lurch for the next few classes.

She dropped her hand and considered Graham for a moment. "You wanna learn how to do pottery?" she offered.

"Boy, do I!"

Would he have said that to practically anything Amaya proposed? Probably. But he also followed it up with, "Will Guillermo be able to do pottery, too?"

And Amaya sighed, because she knew this meant she'd be spending the first part of class trying to put together a bat-sized pottery wheel, but you know what? Maybe the squirrels could also get some good use out of it. "We'll see what we can do," she said. "Innovation is the name of the game, right? Let's make some pots."

The Mechanics of Engineering; Wednesday, First Period [11/02].

It had certainly been a while since Ignis had stepped into a classroom, but he had realized that, with Shane currently a goose at the moment, his students would possibly be without a class this week, and, obviously, something like that simply could not stand.

Granted, Ignis was a bit limited on what he could offer. If he'd had more time to prepare, he was certain he could have come up with something good, but, as it stood, he'd have to make do with something a bit more off the cuff.

With Shane to guide him in the right direction, he made it to the classroom with time to spare, and, when it was time to begin class, he stood and greeted the class with a nod. "Good morning," he said. "You may not know me," he certainly couldn't couldn't discredit the possibility that some of his own former students were in this class, but, of course, at the moment, he had no way of knowing, "but my name is Ignis Scientia, and your usual instructor, Mr. Gooseman, is currently...well..." He gestured toward the bird in question, "a goose. As such, I will temporarily be leading your class today. Since this is hardly my field of expertise, however," and he'd barely had any time to prepare! He might have called in Prompto to handle it, if that were the case, really, and perhaps he should have, but Prompto seemed to be dealing with a lot already as it was right now, "we will be taking a little field trip down to the library. Use this time wisely to find a topic of engineering that interests you and start piecing together a presenation on that topic for the end of class. It doesn't have to be anything to elaborate or in depth, just a nice overview of what you were able to find of interest and a cohesive summary to give to the rest of the class of what you've discovered.

"Any questions before we head out? If not, I'll allow Mr. Gooseman to lead the way, and we'll get started."

Getting to Know Earth, Wednesday

"Good afternoon," Hannibal greeted the students. "I hope you've had enough candy already. Today we will be experiencing more generally autumn-themed events."

He led them through the portal. "Welcome to Treinen Farm. Autumn is traditionally a time of harvest, and before the harvest it's become a custom lately to build mazes in corn fields. This is one of the best in the United States, according to several lists, so it should be interesting. And it should take approximately one hour to complete, so I will leave you all to it. If you finish, I'll have hot cider and molasses cookies for you."

Meanwhile, he'd be drinking the coffee he'd brought and visiting the petting zoo. Because shut up, animals were often superior to humans.
