Week 23: We, the people of EEL, have only one remaining week!

Good morning. I don't know about the students, but I had a blast Tuesday listening to their tongue twisters and diagramming the "Preamble" to our Constitution. Who would have ever thought a simple sentence could go on and on and on...and on! Although the kids groaned, I think they secretly enjoyed it, too. :)

There's not much to report this week. I introduced subjunctive mood, and the three-sentence example I gave of what I call the "wishful thinking" mood was this:

I should clean my room. If I could, I would. But as it were, I think I'll do it tomorrow.

Review EEL material as you see fit, but I expect you'll devote most of your time to completing your final IEW assignment. Remember we will present during class next week. Costume is optional.

Students should also count and bring their tickets for cash redemption. Hopefully they will have earned enough for a kid's meal or a couple of iTunes songs.

See you Tuesday one last time. Meanwhile, enjoy the budding leaves on these beautiful days.
