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.
