Today, as you look at your letter and my letter, what do you notice? Do you see those red marks on my letter? What are they called?
Yep, commas!
Writers place commas in the date, the greeting, and the closing. They aren't stopping, so there's no reason for a period. By inserting a comma, the writer pauses.
Check your letter. Check again...did you put a comma in the date? Did you put a comma after who you are writing to? Did you put a comma after your closing?
In all of your letters from now on, place those commas!
Also, feel free to write me a letter and tell me all about your day. Or, feel free to write to another teacher and tell them how much they mean to you. We'll be delivering them on Monday, so write on!!!
Happy writing!!!
