Grammar Institute 2010 Takes Off

After the first day of classes, one student remarked, "If it is going to be this fun, I won't mind coming every day!"

Imagine your mother telling you that you will take a grammar class for three weeks during your summer - that is not exactly peachy considering that you would rather be playing outside in the sun, now that the snow has finally melted.

It is a pleasure to announce that all the students are joyfully taking up the task of learning the eight parts of speech:
noun, pronoun, article, adjective, interjection, conjunction, verb, adverb.

The students are also parsing and writing. "What is parsing?" Ask that guy. He knows the answer. "It means to label a word according to what part of speech it is." Correct answer!

It is truly amazing the things students can do when they are asked to!

One last thing - School House Rocks is the favorite of the week!
