Writing--Capitalization and Punctuation

Writing is one of my favorite subjects to teach, but before we can get to the really fun stuff, we must first learn the basics.  We are working on learning the capitalization and punctuation rules, as well as the four types of sentences.

Statement--simply a telling sentence.  The sky is blue.  The grass is green.  These always end in a period.

Question--asks something and requires an answer.  How old are you?  What time is it?  These always end with a question mark.

Exclamatory--shows excitement.  We won the game!  These end with an exclamation point.

Command--tells the subject to do something.  Keep off the grass!  These can end with a period or an exclamation point.
