We have been super busy writers in Room 6 this week. We are so excited to share what we have been working on in class as part of our IOW (Improve Our Writing) sessions.

What We Learned This Week: Sentence Fragments 🧩

This week, our big focus was learning all about fragment sentences. We discovered that a sentence fragment is only a little piece of a sentence, so it doesn’t make complete sense on its own!

We learned a very important rule: To make a fragment into a complete sentence, we have to add a subject or a person!

Here is an example of what we practised:

• Fragment: “Ran to the swings.” ❌ (Wait… who ran to the swings?)

• Complete Sentence: “The girl ran to the swings.” ✅ (Now it makes total sense!)

We have been doing fun IOW activities every single day this week, using our mini-whiteboards, playing sentence-sorting games, and spot-checking our work to make sure no lonely fragments escaped into our jotters.

What’s Next? 🚀

We are at the very start of a 3-week IOW block, which means we will be doing daily writing challenges for the next 3 weeks to build our sentence power!

• Next week’s focus: We are going to be learning all about run-on sentences and how to stop our sentences from going on and on and on without taking a breath!

Try It at Home! 🏠

Ask us at home if we can spot a fragment sentence! You can give us a silly phrase like “Ate a huge ice cream” and see if we can add a subject to fix it for you.
