How the lesson starts: Build and Expand Complete Sentences

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!
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!
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!
