Yo Quiero Sentences

Our first unit in English is that of sentences. We learn that a sentence has a capital letter in the beginning, a subject and predicate in the middle, and ends with an ending mark.

We did lots of activities: starting with simple sentences and moving up to compound and complex sentences.

One of our favorite activities was sorting Taco Bell sauce packets. Did you know that Taco Bell puts different sentences on the outside of their sauce packets? They have declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory sentences on them. We had a ball finding and sorting the different types.

We also sorted sentences other ways.

We then moved on to making complete sentences. We had one half of the room make subjects and the other half of the room make predicates. We then put them together. The kids were in hysterics with the funny sentences we created.

We then moved on to compound subjects and compound predicates. We had one half of the room make compound subjects and the other half of the room make compound predicates. We then put them together. 

Finally, we moved to compound and complex sentences.
