Building Sentences: The cat ran.

We have been working on building sentences starting with a simple sentence and adding specific words, similes, and phrases. Last week we started work on combining predicates and adding prepositional phrases. Here are a few examples of what the class came up with. We all started with the simple sentence, "The cat ran."
