Commas in a Series

Today we worked on commas in a series. We used our culture sentences to find examples of the use of commas in a series. We learned that a series is a group of items, and used series of books as an example to help understand the concept. We learned that commas should be used to separate three or more words in a series. We practiced writing sentences using commas in a series. The students wrote about what they wanted for Christmas and used the commas to separate the items.

Ava: I want Squinkies, Teacup Piggies, Chunk, and DS games.
