Celebrate National Punctuation Day--September 24.  How? There are lots of great ideas at www.nationalpunctuationday.com.  And here are a couple of other ideas. Have a punctuation bee, like the one in PENNY AND THE PUNCTUATION BEE. I like to assign a mark and a word randomly and have students make a sentence using both. And for more fun, click the button below and have your students take the What Punctuation Mark Are You? quiz.  Then ask them to make signs proclaiming their marks and go on parade!

What Punctuation Mark Are You?
Want to try some Reader's Theater with your students? Here's a script for PENNY AND THE PUNCTUATION BEE--enjoy!
