Graduation

It's graduation time! Thanks for all your hard work!

Memorial Day

It's almost Memorial Day, so we'll be doing some reading in class on this topic for the next week.

Happy Cinco de Mayo

Happy Cinco de Mayo! We'll be doing some fun things in class to celebrate (and learn more than you ever wanted to know about the history of Mexico...for instance, did you know that Mexico was occupied by France for awhile?)

Tax Day

Taxes. Unless you're an accountant, it's probably nobody's favorite subject, but it's one of life's inevitabilities. We'll be reading and thinking about taxes (and financial literacy) today in class...and if you haven't filed, and you need to, you have until 11:59 PM this evening. (And for your procrastinators, the airport post office is open the latest of all the post offices in town.)

April Fool!

Today is a day for celebrating silliness. We'll be doing some fun (silly) stuff in class, as well as reading about famous historical pranks, hoaxes, and practical jokes. Also, we'll be contemplating some of the paradoxes of the English language. Definitely bring your sense of humor to class today.

Happy Spring!

Today is officially the first day of Spring. We'll be doing some spring-themed activities in class and celebrating the fact that the days are getting warmer and longer (although it'll be cool and rainy for quite some time yet).

Beware the Ides of March!

Beware the Ides of March! (The origins of this phrase) Here's an interesting article on this unlucky day.
