Talking Points

• Quotation: "Words are like magic keys; the more we have, the more doors we can unlock in our minds."
• Quotation: "Nouns are names of people, places, or things. Can you point to 3 nouns in this room?"
• Quotation: "Verbs are action words. Jump, run, and skip are all examples of verbs. Can you show me a verb by acting it out?"
• Quotation: "Adjectives describe things. If I say 'big elephant,' big is the adjective. Can you think of an adjective for your favorite toy?"
• Quotation: "Adverbs tell us more about the action. If I say 'She runs quickly,' quickly is the adverb. Can you think of an adverb for eating?"
• Quotation: "Prepositions show the relationship between things. If I say 'The book is on the table,' on is the preposition. Can you think of a preposition for under?"
• Quotation: "Conjunctions join words or sentences. If I say 'I like apples and bananas,' and is the conjunction. Can you think of a conjunction that joins two sentences?"
