Sentences, Subjects and Predicates, Oh My!

We have been working with sentences. We spent quite a bit of time learning the differences between commands, statements, exclamations and questions. That went pretty well. Now, we have started "dissecting" the sentences. The kids have been learning where the complete subject and complete predicate are. Once they have that figured out, it's time to decide what the simple subject and simple predicate is. This has been a bit challenging. I thought a little "hands on" activity might help. They liked it.
We will be practicing this and starting to work with nouns next week.
