E-weeks (Weeks 9-10)

E is for eeeeeee.

It's E-weeks, everybody. Ds proved to be more daunting causing a dip into depression and a dearth of discussion and displays. Es should be more Exciting; they have to be, the letter requires it. Here's a bit about Es.
E is the second vowel for the alphabet experiment experience.
The Upper and lowercase versions of E look a bit different.
Upper: E
lower: e
The Uppercase one is clearly the more rigid of the two with all of those right angles, but you can see how the little one came from the big one. The family resemblance is eerie.
Eerie is a good word to showcase the letter e as it has three.
Three also has some ees, 2. Two has no ees, but one has 1, as does zero, and none. E is easily the most popular letter among the numbers, with great representation by those teens.
One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten, Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen, Fourteen, Fifteen, Sixteen, Seventeen, Eighteen, Nineteen, Twenty...Thirty-Three Es!
To show numbers' appreciation of es involvement, they deemed it a mathematical constant. You can find him showing up around exponential functions.

You've probably also seen the equation E=mc² and have no idea what it means.
E is also a musical note.
E even has its own television station, which I thought was a little excessive. How much time can you really spend on E? I'd say about 2 weeks is Enough.
That must be why the academic grading system chose to overlook E as a viable mark indicating a child's aptitude, instead moving on to F. I, on the other hand, will not be excluding E.

Evidently, E gets around, so hopefully Es will be easier than Ds.
