Grammar Fun for Spring Break!

     Dear students and parents,

        I have attached a few grammar exercises and activities to keep your mind sharp and avoid any possible boredom in the long days ahead.  These activities are not required, but some extra credit will be given to students who complete any of the suggestions below. 

1.  Write a letter to the editor of a travel magazine about the place you are visiting (Aspen is fine also).  Include: Your name, the name of the magazine (you can make it up), use letter format (start with Dear...., and end with Sincerely,...........), 3 spots to visit, 3 places to eat, and how to get to your destination (boat, plane, train, etc..).  Use exciting adjectives, correct spelling, concise punctuation, proper and common nouns, exclamatory sentences and any other wonderful grammar constructs that will help you to write a beautiful letter.
1-2 pages maximum.

2.  Find or make up 5 (appropriate) grammar jokes and submit them to this site or e-mail Ms. Kim at
kimbakker@aspencountryday.net and I will post them on this site.

3.  Go to www.funbrain.com  Grammar Gorillas (advanced play) and play these grammar games on three or more days. Make sure to record your score on a piece of paper and turn it into Ms. Kim upon your return.

4.  Make a worksheet!  Create a worksheet for the class using  two of the following (nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, pronouns, and proper nouns).  Make sure to also include an answer sheet!


Thank you, Ms. Kim



Enjoy this joke!
