01

What Students Need to Do

Students write and say sentences with names, ownership words, pronouns, and verbs that match who acts and when. They add words that describe, join ideas, and show where things are. They write statements, questions, commands, and exclamations when prompted.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student writes "Ava's dogs run" and "Ava's dog runs" with the right verb for each subject. They use she, her, and someone where they fit, and change walks to walked or will walk when the time changes. They can write a question, command, or exclamation for a given situation.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may write "the dogs runs" or add an apostrophe to a plural that does not show ownership. They may write "him runs" instead of "he runs," or "yesterday I walk" instead of "yesterday I walked." They may put a question mark on an excited sentence or write a command as a statement.

04

How to Assess It

Exit ticket: "Mia has two small dogs. Yesterday they played under a tree." Ask students to write one sentence about what Mia's dogs did and one question about where they played.

3. 03

4. 04

   Have students write a note for the classroom door with one direction, one question, and one excited sentence about recess.
