Key Sentence Poster - I will use these this year for more! Daily work might include: • intro/identify nouns, • verbs, • adjectives, • subject/predicate, start with "A cat sits." and add different where, a when, a how, a why, and introduce tense by looking at the verb. I'll use the more like mentor sentences.
