= TUESDAY﻿ = = Today we are going to learn about contractions! = = = = First I will use a balloon to explain to you how contractions work and then each student will receive a music sheet with the song we are all going to sing together to help us learn about contractions. = = = = = = = = = = = = After we finish singing I will hand out a piece of construction paper and an elbow macaroni to each person. When you get your paper fold it in half and cut the fold vertically to represent the words "DID" and "NOT" (write did not on top two flaps). Lift the flaps and combine them on the back flap to create the contraction "DIDN'T" and then glue the macaroni (the apostrophe) in the place of the missing letters. = = = = = = = = = = = = Once you are done creating your contraction show me and then I will let you each go to the computers (5 at at time) and play the online crossword puzzles! = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = STUDENT ACTIVITY PAGE =
