A sentence is a group of words that expresses a complete thought. It starts with a capital letter and ends with a punctuation mark, such as a period, question mark, or exclamation mark. 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. If I say, 'The dog barks,' we can see that it starts with a capital letter and ends with a period. Now, if I ask, 'Is the dog barking?' this sentence ends with a question mark. Notice how the punctuation changes the meaning of the sentence. Let's practice writing similar sentences!
Now, I will give you a sentence starter: 'I see a...'. Let's think of something we can see and complete the sentence together. For example, 'I see a bird.' Remember to start with a capital letter and end with a period. After we write it together, I will ask you to share your sentences with a partner and check if they have the correct punctuation.
It's your turn to write! I want you to think of three things you see around you. Write a sentence for each thing, making sure to start with a capital letter and end with the correct punctuation. After you finish writing, draw a picture of one of the things you wrote about. Be ready to share your sentences with the class!
