I bought this at the end of the year last year and have loved using the punctuation people to introduce punctuation throughout the year with my kindergarten students. Thanks!
My students really LOVED this activity - we worked on it with our 5th grade Big Buddies and they enjoyed it, too! Thank you for a great product that really helps reinforce those punctuation concepts.

Hi, could you send me an editable version as I need to change to full stop to use our language please?
Thanks
Simone
Would it be possible to do a British English version? Fullstop instead of period and exclamation mark instead of point? That's the two that are obvious to me, maybe there are more. I love the look of the pack, but don't want to be messing it up with changes! If it's possible to change without being too inconvenient, I would buy the pack. Apologies if this is a pain and if you'd rather not, it's no problem!
Please let me know - many thanks!
Wendy :)
Is there anyway for me to preview it all before I purchase this? I really want to buy it just want to make sure I can use all of it before I do buy. Thanks! :)
I'm sorry. There is no way without giving you the whole file. There is a preview on my blog post from today along with a preview of one of the people posters.

I would love for you to add a poster for each punctuation person so that I could hang them on the wall in my kindergarten class! Thanks so much Michelle!
Michelle,
In your "Punctutaion People" unit, are there individual posters showing each punctuation mark? Also are there stories that go along with each punctuation mark person? I just wanted to make sure before I purchased! Thanks so much!
There is a story for each person. Just a little paragraph and you can laminate the story pages individually to make a poster. I may add a poster page for each punctuation person without the words when I get back though.
I have been teaching 11 years and all 11 have been in first grade. I absolutely love teaching. I have always dreamed of being a teacher and feel blessed to be able teach 6 and 7 year olds.
