SENTENCE COMBINATION, April 4th, 2013

Learning to combine ideas into more complex sentences is an important skill in writing. There are many ways to do this--many possible bonus points! Try to combine the following three sentences.

Sentence 1: Children were not in school for April Fool’s Day this year.
Sentence 2: Most of their practical jokes were restricted to their homes and families.
Sentence 3:  Parents probably wished that their children were in school.

Children were not in school for April Fool's Day this year, and parents probably wished that their children were in school; since, most of their practical jokes were restricted to their homes and families.

VICTORIA: Reword a little avoid repetitiveness and check the punctuation;-)

VICTORIA: better wording, but there is still a punctuation issue.
