Meaningful Sentences

Next week we begin using our Saxon Phonics vocabulary words to write meaningful sentences in our ELA centers, as well as for homework. 

SO... What is a meaningful sentence you ask? A meaningful sentence is a sentence that has value to the reader. A meaningful sentence needs to make sense, begin with capitalization, and end with punctuation. A meaningful sentence should also paint a picture for the reader by using describing words, or adjectives, to give details. An example of a meaningful sentence is on the Weekly Homework sheet. I have also created a Homework Rubric to make sure your child knows what goals to reach with the homework writing.

Both the Weekly Homework sheet and the Homework Rubric will always be posted in the Newsletter tab of the blog for your reference and convenience.

Here is the Meaningful Sentences worksheet we will be using in centers. At the bottom is a writing rubric to check off and help your child to ensure that the sentences are meaningful.

Thank you for all you do to ensure your child's academic successes in second grade!
