It's SPELLING SENTENCE SATURDAY!!!! As everyone remembers, writing sentences for each spelling word can be incredibly boring. However, there are always a few students who view this task as an opportunity to amuse their teacher. These are their sentences. My comments follow in parentheses.

embrace: You can embrace your fear. (Good to know.)

curtsy: I looked very curtsy in my dress. (I think she means cutesy, and good for her with the positive self-evaluation!)

instant: I had instant karma. ("Instant karma" is a favorite in our class.)

children: The children were very rowdy. (Um, yeah they were!)

control: Get under control, people! (I feel this way every day!)

control: I can control Mrs. B. (Hmmm...interesting.)

The next two come from the same girl (a gifted student, no less.)

district: District is an interesting word, and I don't know what it means. (At least she's learned how to write a compound sentence.)

merchant: I can't think of a sentence for merchant. (Technically, this is a sentence. Well done.)
