Speaking of nouns and verbs.  Do you remember diagramming sentences?  



Me, too. It reminded me of geometry for English.  Do teachers still teach diagramming today?

What are five nouns and verbs for your Thursday?

Temple, Furniture (the temple was getting a delivery and if it wasn't for Owen needing me, I would have stayed around for the opening of the big boxes), Store, Candy, Windshield wipers.

Drive, Laugh, Cry, Shop, Talk.

Oh how I hated diagramming sentences!!

I love your day in nouns and verbs, but oh no to the stolen check violation!

Melinda said...

Is it sad that I don't remember or don't think I was taught diagramming? It looks so foreign to me! I hope everything worked out with the stolen check? That sounds miserable.

article, computer, flowers, bills, groceries.

mowing, weeding, sweating, drinking, shopping

water, unpack, dig, organize, cook
paint, phone, book, bills, raspberries.
Paint is both a noun and a verb I guess. Mine is a noun. This was a fun activity but my list was hard to limit to 5. You did a great job and it was amazing to piece together your day that way!
