Punctuation

This week we are focusing on using correct punctuation at the end of our sentences.  We have talked about telling sentences, asking sentences and command, expression and/or warning sentences.  Today we read some of Mo Willem's "Pigeon" books.  Mo Willems does a wonderful job of showing his characters' thoughts and feelings through simple sentences.  After reading a couple of his books, the students practiced drawing their own pigeon and writing a sentence with the correct punctuation to go with it.  Tomorrow we will look at some "Piggie and Elephant" books and how correct punctuation is used.
