Hi, folks! I'm Pat, your station master for Punctuation Station. My address is Pat returns 2 Porch 1799901, but I spend a lot of time at "The Punctuation Station Classroom" . Ms. Winnie, the instructor for Comma Sense, will join us there as often as possible. (We are Punctuation Pals.) "The Punctuation Station Classroom" is where a lot of learning takes place, We hope to see you there often to join in the latest discussions. You may find a weekly challenge or two to show me what you learned and to earn some bonus points.
My assistant, Princess Punctuation, will be there to help us remember the rules so we can Write It Right!
A big thank you to Brooke - thanks veterans for her amazing, lifelike rendering of Princess Punctuation.
