Young writers look at punctuating interjections


We had a busy day today. We started by working on our writing piece we started yesterday.

We worked with an informational passage.  We had to mark different things in the passage.  We then answered the questions, and explained why we answered the way we did.

We worked with using commas after an interjection in a sentence.  An exciting interjection would use an explanation point. (Hooray! We won the game!) But we used it with mild interjections. (Yes, we are having outside recess today.)

We were also given time to work on Poetry Ringo.

We went to computers during math.  They also came home with one math problem.  They have to be ready to share how they figured it out.  But they have to figure out how to get the correct answer in two different ways.  One way could just be from memory.  Feel free to give them ideas/suggestions.

I also sent home a note about the book we are making as a class. In order to get the book, I must have every single student's sheet back.  Even if you are not ordering the book, I must have the sheet with your signature saying you don't want one. Thank you!  I have worked with this company before and the books are such treasures!  I look at the one my son made when he was 4 (Yes, I helped.), and it still brings a tear-covered smile to my face!
