WRITING & GRAMMAR

Students are learning to be good writers! Their Writer's Notebook is starting to fill up quickly. They recently worked on their "I Wonder List." So many ideas!!! In our class, grammar plays a big role in student's writing. So far, they've learned the different types of sentences, how to identify the subject, predicate, and verb, and recently compound sentences.

Remember the conjunctions:  F A N B O Y S!

(For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, and So)

They are used in a compound sentence to connect two complete thoughts. Also, they are preceded by a comma.
