Sizzling Starts

Terrific Time Words

Excellent Endings

The day had finally arrived. The countdown was over. It was Easter!

The smell of chocolate filled the air as I crawled out of bed. Today was going to be an excellent day!

I woke up so excited! I couldn’t wait to see what had been left in my basket!

Bright and sparkly eggs covered my bedroom floor. I had a feeling today was going to be a good day!

I awoke to the smell of pancakes cooking. Easter had arrived!

first before after that next later at last suddenly in time while eventually then when at the same time

It won’t be easy, but I do hope next Easter is even better!

Easter was as bright and sparkly as the eggs that were eaten!

From the beginning to the end, it was excellent. That’s what I call

a perfect Easter!
