A sentence is a group of words that express a complete thought. Every sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with a punctuation mark. The most common punctuation marks are periods (.), question marks (?), and exclamation marks (!). For example, 'The cat is sleeping.' is a complete sentence. Today, we will learn how to write our own sentences and use punctuation correctly.
Let's look at some examples together. Here are three sentences: 1. 'The dog barks.' 2. 'Is it raining?' 3. 'Wow, that is amazing!' Notice how each sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with a punctuation mark. The first sentence is a statement, the second is a question, and the third shows excitement. Now, let's think of our own sentences using these structures.
Now, let's work together to create sentences. I will say a word, and you will help me form a sentence. For example, if I say 'bird', you might say, 'The bird is flying.' Remember to start with a capital letter and end with a punctuation mark. After we create a few sentences together, I will ask you to share your own sentences with the class.
It's your turn to write! I want you to think of your favorite animal and write three sentences about it. Make sure to start each sentence with a capital letter and end with the correct punctuation. Once you finish writing, draw a picture of your animal and label it with one of your sentences. We will share our work with the class at the end of the lesson.
