I asked them to tell me what the first thing they put on after a bath or shower, and they always loved to tell me "my UNDERWEAR"! Then I asked what was the very last thing they put on before coming to school, and they told me "my SHOES"! I told them their sentences needed to be dressed properly, too, and needed beginning UNDERWEAR and ending SHOES! My students got so used to underlining their "underwear" and circling their "shoes" that they hardly ever forgot beginning sentence capitalization and ending punctuation throughout the year!THIRD GRADE BLOGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09769174069610712248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640884830731263966.post-32126812165601927322012-07-31T20:48:33.858-07:002012-07-31T20:48:33.858-07:00I mean't "can" practically write nov...I mean't "can" practically write novels.. whoops!Simply Sweet Teachinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988947363239248137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640884830731263966.post-9162524741957357242012-07-31T20:48:04.022-07:002012-07-31T20:48:04.022-07:00This is the bain of my existence.

I consider myself a fairly good writing teacher, but I swear this is developmental in 1st grade because some of my students who can't practically write novels STILL can't remember to consistently use capitals.
