The Tale of the Big Bad Wolf
Tales of Werewolves and the Big Bad Wolf brought fear to generations of people who believed that wolves were snarling, lurking beasts hiding in the forest waiting for someone to drop by for lunch.
Between 1520 and 1630 there were over 30 000 supposedly proven cases of people being attacked by werewolves.
The "Werewolves" may actually have been people who were mentally ill, drunk or on drugs, or even have had rabies. Thieves may have skulked around in wolf skins, trying to scare people. This may have helped fuel the werewolf legend.
Another famous tale that has not been so deadly for wolves is about
When the twin brothers Romulus and Remus, founders of Rome, were condemned to death as babies and thrown into the River Tiber a female wolf found the twins. The story goes that her maternal instincts took over. She nursed them and cared for them in a cave overlooking Rome. The children were later discovered by a shepherd and became part of his family.
Stories from India between between 1843 and 1933 also included cases of children being raised by wolves. In 1920 there was a well documented case of a Doctor Singh brought back two girls to his orphanage who had lived with wolves. The oldest girl was eight and they walked on all fours at their time of rescue. They fed entirely on raw meat, and they lapped their water crouched on all fours. When they felt threatened, they hunched their backs, bared their teeth and growled.
Norse mythology tells the legend of the giant Fenrir.
There is also the beloved tale of Peter and the Wolf which introduces the instruments of the orchestra to young children and the Boy Who Cried Wolf by Aesop.
Wolves have been featured in the folklore and mythology of many cultures throughout history.
The Wolf Unit Study
I like to start the Wolf Unit by gathering the children on the rug and discussing everything the children know about wolves. We make a list on chart paper and then make a list of the things we would like to know.
Next I read a story of a real wolf family such as the one by Jean Craighead George. We talk about the relationship of each of the members of the family in the wolf pack and start a Wolfpack Word Wall. Words on this wordwall might include:
male, female, wolf, pack, wolf pack,
I write each of these words with white chalk on black construction paper cut in the shape of a wolf. (Spraying with hairspray will fix the chalk.) I mount these words on a bulletin board with a snowy open field scene. By attaching the wolf words with black push pins the children can take them to their desks when they need to spell a word and then reattach them later.
Next I lead the children over to the reading nook that has been converted from a Lemming's , River Otter's, Woodchuck's, Frog's Den or Bird Blind depending on the unit we studied before. The children discover that the den now has a stack of wolf books for reading while cuddled up to one of the stuffed wolves in our wolf pack.
Little Red Riding Hood and Venn Graphs
I pick out the story of Little Red Riding Hood and we go back to the rug to read. When we finish we talk about the difference between fiction and non-fiction and make a Venn Graph to describe the similarities and differences between the wolves in the two stories.I read many stories about wolves throughout the day and throughout the Wolf Unit. Children are encouraged to read stories on their own, to take books home and to listen to stories about wolves on tape. Each day we take a few minutes to review what we have learned and to compare the different versions.

Physical Education for Little Wolves
Wolves work together in packs to run around and capture their prey.
Outside on the playground form two teams. One team are the wolves and the other are the sheep.
To differentiate the wolves from the sheep get an old white t-shirt and rip it into strips. Use these strips as headbands. When a sheep gets captures they take off the headband and become a wolf.
Each sheep that is captured goes becomes a wolf until there are no more sheep and the game starts over again.
Start a Wolf Pack
Stuffed animals help to bring the Wolf Unit to life.
We use these wolves for cuddling with when reading, for acting out stories, and for manipulatives when trying to understand difficult math problems.
Math problems such as: 3 wolves are in the den. 3 more wolves come back home. How many are in the den now?
You might ask your parents to run a fund raiser to get your stuffed wolf collection going. We have a pack of 6 Cuddlekins Wolves in our wolves' den. Each year I try to add to my collection of stuffed animals.

The Gray Wolf Theater
The Wolves
The Gray Wolf (Canis lupus; also spelled Grey Wolf, see spelling differences; also known as Timber Wolf or Wolf) is a mammal in the order Carnivora. The Gray Wolf shares a common ancestry with the domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris), as evidenced by DNA sequencing and genetic drift studies. Gray wolves were once abundant and distributed over much of North America, Eurasia, and the Middle East. Today, for a variety of human-related reasons, including widespread habitat destruction and excessive hunting, wolves inhabit only a very limited portion of their former range. Though listed as a species of least concern for extinction worldwide, for some regions including the Continental United States, the species is listed as endangered or threatened.

The Gray Wolf
Wolves were once abundant over much of North America and Eurasia but now inhabits a very small portion of its former range because of widespread destruction of its habitat, human encroachment of its habitat, and the resulting human-wolf encounters that sparked attempts of total extermination.
The gray wolf is, however, are very adaptable. They reproduce and expand in areas where allowed and are regarded as being of least concern for extinction.
Today, wolves are protected in some areas, hunted for sport in others, or may be subject to extermination as perceived threats to livestock and pets.

Wolves are Predators
Gray wolves play an important role as apex predators in the ecosystems they typically occupy. Gray wolves are highly adaptable and have thrived in temperate forests, deserts, mountains, tundra, taiga, and grasslands.

Wolf Population Fluxuation Activity
A 'pack' of 'wolves' (K-4) stands in a circle with optional dress-up of fake-fur tails and fuzzy ears. Half the kids are sitting to show population balance. Kids sitting down from the beginning are wolf pups ready to be born. The teacher or whoever reads the scenarios shuffles cards with scenarios written on them and begins to call them out.
If it is a decreasing scenario, one 'wolf' sits. If it increases, a 'wolf' stands up. This continues until either the entire 'pack' dies and the wolf population is doomed, the wolf population sky-rockets until no-one else can stand up, or whoever calls out scenarios runs out of cards. You may choose only to use the scenarios shown in the site below or create your own.
- Geoguide @ nationalgeographic.com
- Objectives:
Students will identify ways in which human and natural forces alter the physical environment and discuss, write about, and illustrate examples of these changes in the environment and their effects on the life of a wolf. - Carssa's Den

Gray wolves share a common ancestry with domestic dogs.
After reading this story we write a class predictable book with alternating pages:
A wolf is wild.
A dog is tame.
A wolf kills for it's food.
A dog is given dog food.
etc.
The children choose a page to illustrate. The pages are put in a three ring notebook. Anyone can add more pages later during Writer's Workshop. The book is then put in the classroom library and children are allowed to take it home to read to their families.

Gray wolves once were plentiful
Background information for teachers.
Gray wolves once were plentiful from central Mexico to the Arctic, but were killed off for decades, and by the 1930s had virtually disappeared from the American West. In 1974, they were listed as endangered. Since then about $27 million has been spent by the federal government to conserve the wolves.
In 1995 and 1996, officials reintroduced 66 wolves to central Idaho and the Yellowstone National Park area. The population has since surpassed the goal of a stable population of at least 300 animals, to more than 1,500 throughout the northern Rockies region. That population is increasing by about 24% annually, according to wildlife officials.
The delisting will affect Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, the eastern third of Washington and Oregon, and a small portion of central Utah. It will take effect March 28. Last year, gray wolves were delisted in Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota after the region's population hit about 4,000. That delisting is being litigated.
All three Rocky Mountain states were required to submit wolf management plans for a delisted population before Thursday's announcement, and they have agreed to maintain a minimum population of about 150 wolves per state. Ed Bangs, Fish and Wildlife's wolf recovery coordinator, who headed the reintroduction effort, predicted that the regional population would not fall below 900 to 1,200 wolves.
Wolf Math
The gray wolf (Canis lupus) is also known as the timber wolf or wolf. They measure 26-36 inches high and weigh 70-150 pounds.
To understand these numbers we use an overhead projector to blow up an outline drawing of a wolf to the measurements given. We then trace around the outline on poster board and cut out two wolves. We use these wolf cut outs to measure distances in wolf units.
To understand the weight we fill a gunnysack with 70 pounds of beans add ears and a mouth and let the wolf hang out near the rug as a pillow for silent reading time.
Logical Wolf Game
- The sheep, the cabbage & the wolf
- The sheep, the cabbage & the wolf in the boat: Please help the man in the boat to move the wolf, the sheep and the box of cabbage to the other side of the lake. Notice that: wolves eat sheep and sheep eat cabbages when the man isn't around. How to play: At the top of your screen you will see 3 buttons. When you click on sheep-it will load the sheep on the boat, when you click on the wolf button, it will put wolf on the boat. To move them to the other side of the lake click GO button. You have to move the wolf, the sheep and the cabbage by boat to the other bank of the river. You can take only one of these with you at a time, but note that the unguarded wolf will eat the sheep and the unguarded sheep will eat the cabbage. Can you solve the puzzle?
Non-Fiction Wolf Books
When we have questions about wolves I show the children how to look up the answers. Non-Fiction books are harder to read to a group than fiction so I find that it is often easier to have grandparents come in at Silent Reading time to read with the children. The children benefit from the individual attention and the grandparents get another chance to connect with the children.
Books for teaching about Wolves
The Wolves: Complete Cross-Curricular Theme Unit has wonderful activities for K-3 classrooms including a poster, and black line masters for making learning centers. Check out the Table of Contents .
Wolf Lessons
The Wolf Posture Activity has patterns of wolves to cut out, connect with paper fasteners and use to demonstrate wolf postures. These wolf puppets could be used in the Wolf Theater so that the children could make their wolves imitate the wolves in the video or to put on puppet shows.
The following books will have great ideas for 4th - 6th grade classrooms.
Gray Wolf Literacy Bag
Literacy Bags consist of books and activities to extend learning from the classroom to the home. As opposed to homework, these bags offer variety and options which encourage practice and extension of the skills being taught in the classroom.
The wolf backpack would be a great for carrying home a couple of books such as Red Riding Hood. The card game is fun for families to play together and the finger puppets are great for retelling the story. I include a graph for the children to interview their families as to how they feel about wolves. When they bring the Wolf Literacy Bag back to class, the children get to add the information that they gathered to the class graph.
Word Wall Wolves
I make many kinds of Word Walls with the children as we learn about each new unit. It is important to saturate the classroom with words when children are learning to read. I have a 3 poster sized picture frames with Plexiglas replacing the glass in the bathroom. I use one for artwork the children make. I use one for word lists such as wolf verbs. The third might be a map, a famous painting or a graph related to wolves. The poster of wolves below is a great hit with the children.
You can find lots more ideas for teaching about the Creatures of the Woodlands, Meadows, and River Banks on my other lenses.

Riding Hood Sewing Center
Sewing is a great way to help children work on their fine motor skills. I make a center with felt, needles, thread, scissors, thimbles, and small dolls, wolves and pigs. I store all the items in Granny's Sewing Basket. The children make riding hoods, aprons, belts or whatever their imaginations come up with. We take pictures of the dolls dressed in their costumes and let the children write stories about their characters during Writer's Workshop.
Papa Wolf's Publishing Office
Read and Understand Fairy Tales Learning Center
I set this center up as Papa Wolf's office. Papa wolf works at a book publishing company and he needs to proofread the stories and articles that are being published.
I have worksheets for the children to complete. They can work in pairs and use their Mini Offices as needed.
The stories contained in Read & Understand, Fairy Tales and Folktales have been handed down through many generations, sometimes by word of mouth and other times in writing. Peopled by talking animals, witches, giants, trolls, and other fantastic creatures, the appeal they hold for young readers makes them ideal focal points for learning and discussion.
Practice activities include: comprehension, word meaning, phonetics, rhyming, sequence of events, characterization & personification.

Fictional Wolves
The joy of the Red Nose Readers is that they are designed to make beginning readers laugh out loud. And if they're laughing, they're enjoying themselves, and if they're enjoying themselves, they'll be back for more! Big Bad Pig is one of sixteen hilarious titles designed to send your five, six and seven-year-olds into fits of giggles! They were created by the combined talents of Allan Ahlberg and Colin McNaughton and are a great antidote to the usual dull basal readers that are apparently meant to encourage young children to enjoy reading!
Peter and the Wolf
What unit on Wolves could be complete without Peter and the Wolf?
Prokofiev's story and music, the narration of Jack Lemmon, and many captivating, original illustrations are combined here to offer children a truly unforgettable storybook experience. Peter and the Wolf is the classic tale of the young boy who overcomes his fears of the forest to outsmart a hungry wolf. While being entertained and delighted, children become better readers, build stronger vocabularies, and learn an appreciation for a variety of musical instruments.
The Boy Who Called Wolf!
Wolf! Wolf! by John Rocco is the story of an old wolf who has been raising vegetables because he can't catch prey anymore. Only the weeds have overtaken his little garden, so one day he sets out to find a nice young meal of goat. When he finds a flock of goats at the top of a mountain, it's tended by a young boy. A boy fond of crying "Wolf!" Which he does to great effect, much to the exasperation of the townsfolk.
The old wolf takes advantage of the situation by convincing the boy that nobody will listen to his pleas anymore, and threatens to wreak havoc unless the boy brings a goat to his house and ties it to his fence. The boy agrees, to the wolf's delight. Will the wolf eat the goat? Will the goat eat the garden?
This one has a delightful resolution, but more importantly, it has phenomenal artwork. Go on, have a gander:

WOLF! WOLF!
A playground game
This is a "TAG" game. Everybody forms a large circle around the person who is "IT." If there are a lot of children they may hold hands. The person who is "IT" is the "WOLF." The children then chang, "Wolf! Wolf! What are you doing?" and then wait for the WOLF to say some kind of a response. The WOLF may respond by saying something like "Brushing my teeth," or "washing my hands," or "combing my hair," and so forth...BUT, if the WOLF replies with "CHASING YOU!" The kids must scatter so that they won't be tagged by the WOLF. The first person who gets tagged becomes the new wolf.

Save the Wolves!
Sign the petition to Save America's Wolves.
America's wolves need our help!
America's wolves were nearly eradicated in the 20th century. Now, after a remarkable recovery in parts of the country, wolves are once more threatened.
In the Northern Rockies the federal government has put forth a proposal that could lead to the slaughter of hundreds of wolves in Idaho and Wyoming. Even Yellowstone wolves could be shot on site if they wander outside the park's boundaries!
In Alaska state officials continue to allow airborne gunners to kill hundreds of wolves. Easy targets against the snow, hundreds of wolves have been shot from above or chased to exhaustion and then killed by aerial gunners who land and execute them at point-blank range.
In the Southwest misinformation and anti-wolf sentiment runs high, with wolf recovery in Arizona and New Mexico limited to a defined area if the wolves set up territories elsewhere, they are captured and returned.
Defenders of Wildlife continues the fight to promote common sense wolf management, working with federal and state officials and private land-owners to ensure that science, not politics, guides decision-making about the future of these American icons.
Wolves in the News!
Are they being hunted?
Are the populations increasing or decreasing?
- Old growth forests critical to survival of coastal wolves
The coastal wolves along the mid-coastline of B.C. are unique and dependent upon intact old growth forests that provide habitat for salmon bearing streams.
Coastal wolves are the least known subspecies of gray wolves left on the planet.
Ravens depend upon wolves as they scavenge left over kills. Wolves, on the other hand, rely upon raven alert calls to warn them of intruders. Wolves do not eat ravens.- Iraqis fight off fearless wolves
- The gray wolf, also called the Arabic wolf in Iraq, is among the most impressive predators in the Middle East. It grows up to 6 1/2 feet long and stands as tall as 3 1/2 feet, weighing up to 120 pounds.
Something strange happened this year. Locals believe the wolves must have crossed some threshold of desperation or hunger, some tipping point that had prevented them from traipsing onto human turf. They overcame their fear of people and began entering towns and villages to feast on sheep and cattle. - Vote to be held on hunting wolves
A proposal to establish a hunting season on gray wolves will be up for a vote Monday night, April 14, 2008.- In the West, a Fierce Battle Over Wolves
- DENVER - Gray wolves have entered the spin cycle.
Since March 28, when the wolf was taken off the list of federally protected species in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, a fierce battle of perceptions and posturing has unfolded on the Web and in the news media as pro-wolf and anti-wolf forces stake out sometimes hyperbolic positions concerning where in the West animals and humans should exist. - Fearless coyotes raise alarm | San Bernardino County | PE.com | Southern California News | News for Inland Southern California

Zoeraida says:
YES!Of course the wolves should be protected. Because of our foolishness and selfishness, we humans have lowered their numbers and their homes to horridly low numbers. Now that we(some still haven't)have realised our mistakes, why should we stop trying to save them now? Wolves deserve to live on this Earth just as much as you or I or any other being given life. They are kind and compassionate, loyal and protective, loving and caring, and we humans could really learn a few lesons from these guys. So yes, I say the wolves must still be protected, lest we realise this time, too late the horrid mistake we have done and the wonderous creatures we have lost. Why stop protecting them now? It's our fault that they're suffering this way, we at least owe them the protection they more than rightfuly deserve and must help them in everyway possible so that their wonderful species may last for generations and generations to come.
