I was walking past a 3rd class classroom this week and I heard the class teacher, as part of the spelling lesson, asking the children to put the spelling word they were looking at into a sentence. She asked that the sentence also include an adjective, an adverb, a verb and a preposition. It is wonderful that our children are getting such a rich foundation in grammar, as it is the building block for the ability to express themselves in writing. This is further supported by the study of Sanskrit with its beautiful grammatical precision. We will have ample opportunity to see this displayed in the classrooms on Sunday.
