How to Do Tuesday Night Spelling Sentences Homework

If you chose to do Tuesday night spelling sentences, you must include the following:

 Write 10 sentences. Underline the spelling words.  Sentences must be a minimum of eight words long. Use adjectives (words that describe nouns) and adverbs (words that describe verbs) to stretch your sentences add more detail to your sentences. Ask yourself who, what, where, when or why?  Two of your sentences must be questions (interrogative sentences). For example: Where is the blue notebook I left on the dining room table?  If you wish, you may write a story with your spelling words, but the same rules still apply.
