In Writing in Grade1, we start learning how to write short sentences. We started with two words sentences. These days, we write 3 -4 words in a sentence. Students know that a sentence starts with a capital letter and finishes with a punctuation mark: a period, question mark, or exclamation mark.
Also, I introduced dictionaries to my students. Each of them has a dictionary in their desks. I demonstrated how to find a word in the dictionary and copy it into a sentence. They are learning how to use this very important writing tool.
Please feel free to reinforce these writing routines at home.
