- read stories and do punctuation activities in their classroom
- wear a simple costume to school of a punctuation mark - make a shirt or cut out a paper punctuation mark to attach to clothes at home
Celebrating punctuation is a perfect way to compliment what students learn in their classrooms about the importance of using correct punctuation symbols. If you would like to learn more about National Punctuation Day, check out their website.
