Action Verbs: Active Anna

Here is a little story to help you present Action Verbs:

  Anna Action/Verb jumped from bed on Monday. She ran to the breakfast table, doing three cartwheels on the way.
       "Anna, you are too active!" said Mrs. Action/Verb.
       "So?" Anna replied as she leapt out the door.
      She raced her friend, Donna Direct-Object, all the way to school. But she couldn't sit still. Ms. Sentence, the teacher, tapped her ruler on her desk and said, "Anna, SIT STILL!"
       "Yes, ma'am," Anna said as she picked up her pencil.
        When the class lined up for Art, Patrick Pronoun whispered, "You'd better stop being so active. You'll get into trouble." But Anna was seeing how long she could hop on one foot and not trip over Donna.
       The Art teacher, Mrs. Preposition, was showing the class how to draw snowflakes when Anna tipped over in her chair. Then she did five somersaults right into a table. Anna got a bruise on her forehead and had to go to the nurse.
       Then Mr. Noun, the principal, wrote a note home to Anna's parents. And can you guess what Mr. and Mrs. Action/Verb decided? No gymnastics, Anna's favorite class, for a week!
