I used this in my third-grade room as a first-year teacher. It was almost a little too goofy and had some errors.

My sixth grader who LOVES dad jokes, thought this was great and couldn’t wait to read the next sentence. He does his best work when he’s entertained and engaged with the activity.

The creativity of the content of these activities is what made this resource an even bigger success. My students loved reading the sentences that were creative and often times silly but it engaged them and they also rocked out their comma skills.
