This week we are discussing conjunctions, connecting words. Students watched School House Rock and made a die with coordinating conjunctions. Conjunctions can be used to create more complex thoughts, ideas, and sentences.
Here is an example from TS in class:
Andy and I are going to go to the store BUT he has a football game.
Andy and I are going to go to the store OR go to the football game.
Andy and I are not going to go to the store NOR the football game.
Andy and I are going to go to the store FOR the football game.
Andy and I are going to go to the store SO we won't go to the football game.
Andy and I are going to go to the store YET not the football game.
