What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- With a teacher prompt or model, students put a comma between the day and year in a written date. They use commas to separate single words in a list.
What Mastery Looks Like
- After a reminder, a student writes 'May 3, 2027' and 'I packed pens, books, and glue.' They can point to each comma and say what it separates.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may write 'May, 3 2027' or leave out the date comma. They may leave commas out of 'pens books and glue' or add one after 'and.'
How to Assess It
- Write 'May 3 2027' and 'I packed pens books and glue' on the board. Ask students to copy both onto an exit ticket and add the missing commas.

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs cards for 'May 3 2027' and 'pens books and glue,' plus paper comma tiles to place before copying both.
Write 'May 3 2027' and 'pens books and glue' on the board, then ask partners where commas belong and why.
Play comma detective: show 'June 4 2027' and 'We saw cats dogs and birds'; students fix each on mini whiteboards.
Students draft a pretend party invitation with a date like 'May 3, 2027' and a snack list: 'apples, crackers, and juice.'
