Holiday Sing-a-long

Christmas is here,
Smiles all around
All is so bright,
All is so bright!
Santa will come,
To see our town,
Into the night,
Into the night!

And it’s Christmastime I love,
People are smiling,
Holiday singing,
There’s a good feeling!

(repeat)

Christmas is here,
Gifts all around,
All is a-light,
All is a-light!

Santa will come,
To see our town,
Into the night,
Into the night!

And it’s Christmastime I love,
People are smiling,
Holiday singing,
There’s a good feeling

(repeat)

Oh Hanukkah! Oh Hanukkah,
come light the menorah
Let's have a party,
we'll all dance the hora
Gather round the table,
we'll give you a treat
Dreidels to play with and latkes to eat

And while we are playing
The candles are burning low
One for each night, they shed a sweet light
To remind us of days long ago
One for each night, they shed a sweet light
To remind us of days long ago

All About Sentence Combining

We have been working hard to learn how to write better sentences. One way we are improving our sentences is by combining two complete sentences into
one longer sentence.



To do this correctly, we have learned to

• Make sure we have two complete sentences to combine that belong together
  
• Connect the two sentences with a comma and a conjunction, like and, but, or so
• Look at the finished product to make sure there are two subjects, one from each of the two sentences we combined

***********************


Below are some wonderful examples of sentence combining written by skillful students who really have the hang of it!

Notice that each subject has been highlighted in red!

Please leave a comment by telling us something you enjoyed about one of the sentences, and try writing one of your own!



Make sure you start with two complete sentences that each have a subject.
Then combine them using a comma and a conjunction.

For an A sentence, be sure to add an adjective or two!
