Opening Adverb Awards

We have been working with sentence structure variation for a while now. First, we learned about adjectives and how to create opening adjective statements and delayed adjective statements. Now, we are focused on adverbs, opening adverbs, and later, we will focus on delayed adverb statements.

I am listing a few of your classmates opening adverb statements below. If you want some extra credit, why not leave a comment with your opening adverb statement?
