Making Full Sentences

Mrs. Martin and I were really pleased with the way everyone applied themselves to the "Writing Conventions" activity. Given that we keep running into incomplete sentences, we thought it would be a good idea to provide you with some extra practice.

Please cut and paste the following list of incomplete sentences into a new post in your blog. You can call it "Making Full Sentences." Turn each incomplete sentence into a full sentence. Some sentences may be fine just as they are. If a sentence does not need to be fixed, just leave it as is. (You could put "Ok, as is" after it). Remember, a sentence is a complete idea. As always, spell check before you post.
