Move over School House Rock that taught us And, But and Or were conjunctions. Make way for this creative and book that is a class on conjunctions 102.

This book describes examples of conjunctions and how they are used in sentences. The back of the book includes several problems in which one fills in unfinished sentences that contain conjunctions. After reading the book the students can make conjunctions of their own. Grades 3-5
