Stretchin' Sentences

This week will be fun. We will do stuff. I am happy. I can't wait. Learning is cool. 

---- How annoying/boring was that?!

SPICE UP YOUR SENTENCES BY STRETCHING THEM! That is what we will be working on throughout this week. It is time to focus more on our descriptive writing. You will begin to understand how including imagery in your writing allows you to SHOW rather than simply tell.

1. The dog ran.
2. The weekend was fun.

4. The boy laughed.
5. I ate fast.
6. She got a lot of candy.
