3/19/2020 1 Comment Writing with Buske: CapitalizationAlright kiddos, are you ready to talk about writing? I am! Before we start today's story, I thought it would be a good idea to remind you of important rules when it comes to capital letters. 1) All sentences start with a capital letter 2) Proper Nouns need to be capitalized The names of people, places, & things are proper nouns. Examples: 1) "The boy smiled." Boy doesn't need a capital, but if the sentence said, "Parker smiled.", it needs a capital because Parker is a name, and it's the first word int the sentence. 2) "I drove by the school today." School doesn't need a capital because it's not a specific place, it's just a building. If the sentence read, "I drove by the Mexico High School today." Now the school has a name, so it needs a capital. 3) "I went to the park to read yesterday." Park is not capitalized because it's just a location, not a specific place. If the sentence read, "I went to the Mexico Point Park to read a book." You need to use a capital because you used the name of the park. Are you read to find out your writing challenge for today?

I enjoy Jack Hartmann, he makes learning fun. Today we talk about capitals and their importance. Start writing in a journal or on whatever scrap paper you can find.
Happy writing,
Mrs. Buske

This page is a way for me to connect with students, share my passion to write, and hopefully instill this same passion in them as they learn at home.
Feel free to share this page with the kiddos who might need a little extra motivation to write.
