Many of you have included several compound sentences in your comments, so your posts have been interesting and amusing.<br /><br />Our family has two options for Thanksgiving. We can fly to New York and New Jersey, or we can stay local and celebrate with friends. As far as the menu, I like sweet potatoes and stuffing, but not cranberry sauce. We always start out the day by watching <i> A Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving </i>, and drinking hot chocolate. <br /><br />I hope everyone enjoys the week off, and has a wonderful time with their family and friends.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Royce's momRoycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054918142347662191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-8549917945032413772011-11-16T21:47:32.794-08:002011-11-16T21:47:32.794-08:00@ Mrs Yollis,

I now use compound sentences in many articles I write. Sometimes Mrs Krauss gives us a limit of how many sentences we should write for an assignment. I usually have too many sentences and in order to shorten the number of sentences, I create compound sentences. <br /><br />For Thanksgiving, my family is going to invite friends and family members. Many family members bring something special. For dessert my great aunt brings the pumpkin pie and my aunt brings chocolate chip cookies. My dad is the main chef in the family, and he cooks the turkey. My mom and I, usually make the cranberry sauce, and when she isn't looking, I quickly get a lick of the sauce. After dinner, everyone is usually very full.<br /><br />Your former student,<br />♕♔Miriam♕♔♕♔Miriam♕♔noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-70414017801546571152011-11-16T20:41:50.662-08:002011-11-16T20:41:50.662-08:00Dear Mrs. Yollis,

The turkey at the top looks like he is saying, "Happy Thanksgiving!", and the turkey at the bottom is saying "Weeeee!"<br /><br />Our plans for Thanksgiving begin in the morning, and go throughout the day. First, we watch the Macy's Parade, and my mom is usually cooking. This year my dad is making brussel sprouts, and my mom is baking cookies. Then we get dressed, and head over to my Aunt's house to celebrate with the rest of our family. There we talk, play games, play with the dog, laugh, and reminisce of holidays gone by. We end the day with a turkey dinner, and of course, a pumpkin pie!<br /><br />The next day, my parents, Aunt, Grandma and I are going to New York City. On the plane I will read, play video games, watch a movie, and sleep. We will visit a friend in Connecticut, and see the sights of Manhattan. I'm looking forward to going inside the Statue of Liberty, and seeing the view from the crown. I'm also looking forward to shopping FAO Schwarz, Toys R' Us, and ice skating in Central Park. We always visit Dylan's Candy Bar, and get a frozen hot chocolate at Serendipity. And I can't wait to get those hot nuts on the street!<br /><br />Are you going on vacation?<br /><br />What are you doing for Thanksgiving?<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />RexonWhitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111474708988309508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-77554855656765194382011-11-16T18:33:00.437-08:002011-11-16T18:33:00.437-08:00Dear Mrs. Yollis,
