We've been working in 7th and 8th grade to remember what a compound sentence is. To remind us, we have the acronym FANBOYS to help with the coordinating conjuctions (For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So). Compound sentences add some spice to our writing!
Each side has a setence that can stand alone, and a comma and conjunction divide the two sides.
The 8th graders made their own FANBOYS to help us remember, and they are works of art! :)
We have 14 total FANBOYS hanging in the class, 7 for each hour.

We had fun making the drawings on the day back from our snow day!
