Santa’s Sentences Need Some Help! Using End Punctuation
Are your students struggling with their writing this year? It’s not uncommon in the early years, and teachers have found that one particular puzzle they struggle with the most is determining what punctuation to use at the end of sentences. The quest for the correct period, question mark, or exclamation point can be mind-boggling, and students sometimes struggle to find their way. Hence, there is a need for LOTS of practice.

This set of task cards is a perfect blend of holiday cheer and curriculum-aligned practice to help your students master this difficult task.
