with a command of standard English conventions appropriate to this grade level.

Sentence Structure:

- Write and speak in complete, coherent sentences.

Grammar:

- Identify and correctly use singular and plural nouns.

- Identify and correctly use contractions (e.g., isn’t, aren’t, can’t, won’t) and singular possessive

pronouns (e.g., my/mine, his/her, hers, your/s) in writing and speaking.

Punctuation:

- Distinguish between declarative, exclamatory, and interrogative sentences.

- Use a period, exclamation point, or question mark at the end of sentences.

- Use knowledge of the basic rules of punctuation and capitalization when writing.
