The story has a topic sentence that does not make sense. It has only 1 detailed sentence or sentences that do not make sense. There is no concluding sentence or the sentence does not make sense.

Jesus Shows Us His Great Love:
We are beginning a new unit in Religion this month. Our goals for this unit are for the children to become familiar with the Paschal Mystery and for them to be determined to live as loving, active members of the Church.
100th Day of School!
Yea! It�s the 100th day of school. We have a few things planned for Tuesday, January 14th, to celebrate how many days we have been in school. We are asking the children to come dressed to school as a 100 year-old person with their P.E. clothes underneath. Next week's homework will ask for the children to bring in a collection of 100 small items and glue them onto a poster board in sets of ten. A letter will be going out on Monday explaining this assignment. They will need to bring in their collection on Tuesday, which will be one of our 100th day activities. Please start looking for 100 small items. Some example of items would be macaroni, pennies, feathers, buttons, beans, beads, etc. Be as creative as you can. Also, your child will need to bring in by Tuesday a snack that we can add to our DERDNUH (Hundred spelled backwards). We would appreciate any kind of snack such as small marshmallows, m&ms, small pretzels, cereals, etc. that you might be able to share. We will make a trail mix that amounts to 100. Please help make this a celebration that we will never forget!
P.E. Reminder:
Since our schedule has changed to an earlier time on Mondays and Thursdays, we asked that the children continue to come to school dressed in their P.E. uniforms. Thank you!
