Part of Madeleine's homework last night was to write sentences using her spelling words. She sure didn't phone it in.
Shall we have cereal for breakfast?
I'm all done folding my laundry, Mom!
I often find Mr. Chang very strange.
Luciana played well on her foghorn in the concert.
"You were great!" Chelsea remarked coolly.
Alexandria was wearing a beautiful, long tight scarlet dress.
"This is very important business!" the governer scolded.
"It's gonna be rainy today," forecast Manager James explained.
"Whatever you do, do NOT discard that bonnet." Emily's mom scolded flatly.
Martin Luther King, Jr. was an AMAZING American roll model!
Okay. I guess Madeleine doesn't know that a foghorn is not a band instrument. But, wow, props to Luciana for figuring out how to "play" one in a concert! Also, who ever knew there's not just weather forecasters but a forecast MANAGER to boot?! And finally, what is the deal with Chelsea? Isn't it kind of an oxymoronic compliment if you give that compliment coolly? I mean, without reading past the quotation marks, I am tempted to imagine Chelsea remarking *warmly,* but apparently not. At least she's not scolding her daughter flatly about discarding her bonnet. Come on, Emily's mom. Put a LITTLE feeling into your scolding. Seriously, sheesh, how do you expect Emily not to discard her bonnet if you're gonna give her such lifeless instructions? Get it together.
