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, 'I love to play outside.' 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. 'The cat is sleeping.' is a simple sentence. Notice how it starts with a capital letter and ends with a period. Now, if we want to ask a question, we can say, 'Is the cat sleeping?' This sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with a question mark. Let's practice identifying the punctuation in these sentences.
Now, let's write some sentences as a class. I will say a sentence, and you will help me write it on the board. For example, if I say, 'The dog barks loudly,' we will write it together, making sure to start with a capital letter and end with a period. After that, I will ask you to create your own sentences about your favorite animals, and we will check them for punctuation.
For your independent practice, I want you to write three sentences about what you did over the weekend. Remember to start each sentence with a capital letter and end with the correct punctuation. After writing, you will pair up with a partner to read your sentences to each other and check for any punctuation mistakes.
