| February 17--Punctuation Takes a Vacation |
|
Who knew punctuation could be so much fun? We read the story Punctuation Takes a Vacation, accompanied the song Punctuation Rap with rhythm instruments, viewed Victor Borge's punctuation skit, and learned a little something about the importance of punctuation too. Robin Pulver's book imagines what would happen if punctuation took a vacation from its work at school or in books.
Can you identify some punctuation marks? Everyone had the opportunity to look for and circle some examples in a sample of writing.
Punctuation Takes a Vacation is an amusing introduction to the topic.
We tested our rhythm skills as we played shakers along with the song Punctuation Rap. Click here for a copy of the song.
As a final exercise, everyone got a chance to punctuate a sentence. |
