Saturday with Cassidy


Cassidy is Ryder's younger sister. She is three years old and she loves to have fun! I spent the day with her this past Saturday. When I walked into the kitchen she was sitting underneath the table playing a game on her ipad. Cassidy saw me and got out from underneath the table. She ran throughout the house until she decided to sit on the couch in front of the tv. We watched tv for about a half hour. Next, Cassidy wanted to color her a coloring book. Cassidy and I walked through the house, past the kitchen, and up the stairs to her bedroom. We looked under her bed and found coloring books and crayons. After we found them we walked back down the stairs and sat across from Ryder at the kitchen table. We colored for about an hour until I went home. I had such an enjoyable day with Cassidy.

Grammar Point
Prepositions show direction, location, time, or introduce an object. Prepositions are usually followed by an object such as a noun or pronoun. For example, I wrote, "When I walked into the kitchen she was sitting underneath the table playing a game on her ipad." The preposition "underneath" shows Cassidy's location. Other examples of prepositions are:
above
across
below
inside
on top of
through
