Most people know the popular Schoolhouse Rock song “Conjunction Junction,” which teaches students about grammar rules for words like “and,” “but,” and “so.”
However, Yellow Cluster students in Head Teacher Allison Pearlman and Assistant Teacher Sophie Nick’s class were inspired to make the song their own. In a multisensory activity, students worked together to create their own music video to the tune.
“We’ve been learning different revision skills, including connecting ideas with conjunctions,” Ms. Pearlman said. “This music video came about spontaneously once we saw how much the kids loved the Schoolhouse Rock version. For the video, they brainstormed sentences incorporating their assigned conjunction and made them come to life!”

At Stephen Gaynor School, students with learning differences develop essential academic and critical thinking skills through individualized and evidence-based approaches, empowering them to reach their full potential. Students learn to advocate for themselves and others while actively building an inclusive community, a sense of belonging, and a belief in their own possibilities.
