The Nine Parts of Speech

Three little words you often see,
Are articles – a, an, and the.
A noun’s the name of anything
As school, garden, hoop, or swing.
An adjective tells the kind of noun –
Great, small, pretty, white, or brown.
Instead of nouns the pronouns stand –
Her head, his face, your arm, my hand.
Verbs tell of something to be done,
To read, sing, jump, or run.
How things are done the adverbs tell,
As slowly, quickly, ill, or well.
Conjunctions join words together,
As men and women, wind or weather.
The prepositions stands before
A noun, as at or through the door.
The interjection shows surprise,
As ah! how pretty --- Oh! how wise.
The whole are called nine parts of speech,
Which reading, writing, speaking teach

This poster was used for one of my favorite presentations so far this year. Anna Farley and Eden Walker presented The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World through "interprative dance." None of us will ever forget the seven wonders thanks to a most imaginative presenting style!

I never cease to be amazed by our students. Presentation time is my favorite part of Foundations. Our Holland presented this original acrostic poem after discussing the various types of poetry written and enjoyed around the world. Holland then took her discussion one step further by asking her classmates to write a similar poem using their own names.

Welcome, sweet friends to Post 1 of our little project. God has blessed us in so many ways since we joined together with our common goals. This is just one more baby step down His road. Thank you all for trusting and going this way with me. I appreciate you more than you will ever know. You have been such blessings to me and my family-you are answers to my prayers. I love you all.
