Contraction song
By JB

Clip to ScrapBook   
I have a song I sing with the kids to help them remember that when recognizing a contraction the first word stays the same. This helps them match the contraction to its two-word partner. I use the first verse the most (printed on a large posterboard as a shared reading) and I don;t have the other verse home with me.
Tune: Mary Had a Little Lamb

I'm the first word, don't change me,
don't change me, don't change me.
I'm the first word don't change me,
oh no, just let me be.

They love it!
