First grade students are learning how to write a complete sentence with an uppercase letter in the beginning of the first word of the sentence, lowercase letters in the rest of the sentence unless there is a name, and an ending mark.
Then we progress to writing a topic or opening sentence, details and a closing sentence when writing a paragraph. The students are also writing personal narratives and informational writing using organizers such as creating lists, webs and/or completing a topic, main idea and detail chart
