Squirrel Theology!

There I was sitting in Ms. Janice Hobbs’ 5 grade class during English class at Cisco Elementary around 1982. This day I was captivated as we were studying prepositional phrases. Suddenly Ms. Hobbs laid on her back with her face towards the ceiling as she taught us the lesson. She indicated for us students to think of a prepositional phrase like a squirrel in that “what can a squirrel do to a tree (she played like she was the tree lying on the bench)? Go around it, go over it, go to it, go away from it.” That was her way to make the term basic to us as a preposition modifies a noun or a verb.
