Objective
I can write a greeting card with a greeting,
a kind message, and a closing.
Materials

Mini-lesson — A simple greeting card message
A greeting card is short, friendly, and easy to read.
It has three parts: greeting, message, and closing.
Greeting
- Start with a friendly hello, like Dear Mom or Hi Grandpa.
- Put a comma after the greeting name: Dear Mom,
- A comma is a small pause. It tells the reader to take a tiny breath before the message.
Message
- Say something kind: Happy Birthday or I love you.
- Keep it short and clear.
- One or two sentences is perfect.
Closing
- Finish with Love, From, or Your friend.
- Write your name.
Neat writing matters
- Leave space between words.
- Start sentences with a capital letter.
- End with a period or an exclamation mark.
A simple card can say:
"Dear Dad, Happy Birthday! I love you. Love, Sam"
