Where to go from here

First, thank you to two alert readers who informed me that “prithee” means “I pray thee” and is an interjection. As luck would have it, I told my students it was an interjection, so I won’t have to go back and confess my ignorance to them. At least not this time.

With the longer than expected class time, I have gobbled up four days worth of lesson plans in two days. The good news is, I’m finding that I can’t give too much time or practice to writing. It is a lost skill, it seems, so I am privileged to help them explore the horizon of composition. Today they wrote on the invigorating topic of “what I did this morning.” It can only get more exciting from here.
