Students were giving the teachers paragraphs written as one sentence by continually connecting sentences using the word “and”.
Stacey Greenwood, a fourth-grade teacher, painted shirts for the teachers and co-wrote a skit to help the students understand the proper time to use “and”.
The students signed promises to no longer overuse the word “and”. Balloons that were released containing the promises.
The skit must have made a huge impression on fourth-grade student, Raiquon Russell, because he went home and made his own T-shirt and wore it to school the next morning.
