Gretchen, How delightful to read your e-mail. You, obviously, have made learning parts of speech fun. That's terrific! I think you have a book in you here--many need to learn from what you are doing. I have found that my students almost crave learning about parts of speech and other "grammar-type" things. I'm wondering if it is partly due to teachers before steering away from such teaching, and the kids know they are missing out of something. I don't know, but I DO know I like your enthusiasm and theirs. Keep up the good work. Teddy Grahams work for anything! I think I'll invest in a box or two for my kiddos! Great idea and I like it better than candy/gum. -- Bev ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com To join or leave this LISTSERV list, please visit the list's web interface at: http://listserv.muohio.edu/archives/ateg.html and select "Join or leave the list" Visit ATEG's web site at http://ateg.org/
