Toolbox - Diagraming 2 & Adverbs

Were continuing to work through Mary Daly's Elementary Diagramming Text, as an overview to diagramming and parts of speech before we move forward in Grammar. Its a chance to get all three kids close to the same standard before we move on. For detailed Grammar work I haven't decided whether I like Mother Tongue or Harvey's better. Mother Tongue is easier to use,
