A fresh start

A new year has come, and with it new faces in my classroom. We'll be working hard this year on writing complete sentences, and I'm hopeful that we will "graduate" to paragraph writing.

Our first assignment involved brainstorming words to use in our sentences about pigs. We talked about nouns, adjectives, verbs, as well as, where and when our sentences could be taking place.

The following are our favorite sentences, accompanied by our drawings.


A fat sow snored on a farm at twilight. by Zane


A fat sow sleeps on a farm at dawn. by Justin


A chubby pig was playing in the mud yesterday. by Chloe


A pink pig jumps outside today. by Wade
