How the lesson starts: Build and Expand Complete Sentences

  1. Juno's sentence train

    Hi friend! Meet Juno the robot. Juno drives the sentence train. Every word is a train car. The cars must go in order. Beep beep! Let's build!

  2. Who and does what

    Uh oh! The cars got mixed up. Runs, the, dog. That makes no sense. A sentence tells who, then does what. Who? The dog. Does what? Runs. The dog runs!

  3. Let's fix Mia's train

    The cars say hat, Mia, a, has, and a period. Find the capital car. Mia! That goes first. Who is it about? Mia. Does what? Has. Has what? A hat. The period goes last. Mia has a hat!
