contractions
By Sarah Wegloski

One thing my first graders enjoyed and reacted positively to was kinesthetic games. I printed one letter on a piece of paper to allow the two words of a contraction to be spelled(such as I-A-M), and made an apostrophe. One student held up each letter for the rest of the class, and the apostrophe had to come in and change the two words into a contraction. The rest of the class could then give the thumbs up if the newly formed contraction was correct. I also printed word cards, having the two words on one card, and the contraction on another. I passed them out to the class, and had them mix, then freeze, and then match-the people with the two words card had to find their contraction, and vice versa, and then share with the class. Good luck!
