We've spent the day talking about Syntax...the way words relate to each other. Certainly we can all agree that writing is the foundation for a good education. Future employers, college admission counselors, and others concur that the ability of a person to be able to formulate their ideas on paper, or a jump drive as the case may be, and communicate their thoughts is a critical skill in the 21st century. I told my students today that good sentences are the skeleton for any good essay. So, we focused today on the first 5 of 10 sentence patterns. We will work diligently at writing interesting sentences...I sure hope to gain some good ideas!!! Check back to see if that's been accomplished!
Also, Mala Kelley's dad, Mahlon Paulk, passed away Friday, August 15th. Please pray for Mrs. Sue and the girls.
