Writing Challenge #1

Choose one or both challenges to write. One challenge is to write a sentence using at least 3 word wall words and 1 word that has 2 syllables. The other challenge is to write a sentence with most of the words beginning with the same letter and using one word that has at least 4 syllables. For both challenges, the sentence can be silly and can have as many words as you like. Write away, Authors!
