Start-Up Activity
Read and discuss pages 130–131. Then display sets of sentences like these three:
Thanksgiving comes in November
I love turkey
What holiday do you like
Ask a volunteer to punctuate the sentences.
Enrichment Activity: Display sentences like the following:
Where is Vito He’s reading a joke book
Do you see him He’s in the yard
Why is he laughing He loves jokes
Ask for volunteers to put the correct punctuation mark after each sentence. Then have them match the questions with the correct answers.
Note: Introduce commas, apostrophes, and quotation marks (pages 132–133) as needed during the school year.
Think About It
“Punctuation marks are like road signs that tell us when to stop or slow down.”
