A Sentence Study

Our next writing unit is entitled "A Sentence Study." After attending a brilliant writing PD for teachers last week, we were inspired to do a study around the mechanics of writing. So, after looking carefully at our students' work, we decided to focus on sentences.

Goals for this unit include:
Learning to capitalize the first letter of a sentence.
Learning to to end sentences with a period, exclamation point, or a question mark.

Learning to use commas to separate single words in a series.

Learning to produce simple and compound declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory sentences

The best part about this unit is that the first graders get to write within any genre of their choice! Some of us are writing fairy tales, while others are mysteries or personal narratives! Our writing workshop is buzzing with excitement!

We look forward to continuing our study of sentences!
