If you are going to write sentences you want your students to be able to choral read and understand throughout the week, why not use some sight words and vocabulary words? Of course, the students like to help you write them. You can also plan your own, and alternate between expository, fact-based sentences and sentences would fit in a story or dialogue.
A longer, well-written sentence on the topic or theme of the week is a good model for how students should aspire to write in the future. With three grade levels, I chose a couple words from each class's words of the week. The students have to read it and write it throughout the week, and it enhances their content knowledge too! We used sentence strips.
