LANGUAGE
Review: coordinating and subordinating conjunctions
A coordinating conjunction combines two simple sentences to form a compound sentence. Some coordinating conjunctions are and, or, but, and so. Always use a comma before a coordinating conjunction.
A subordinating conjunction connects a simple sentence and a fragment. The words although, because, when, unless, while, and after are subordinating conjunctions.

SCIENCE/WRITING
We will continue to work on multiple paragraphs and informational writing. The students will be working on a written project of a assigned habitat. They will be editing and revising before presenting them. DUE this Friday is their animal project.
