We started out the week introducing my little friend “Contraction Crocodile” to kick off our week of contraction activities.
I explained that the crocodile LOVES to eat letters. He chews them up and swallows them whole, then spits out apostrophes in their place(s). He likes to make words shorter because they’re easier to say! They did a great job coming up with words that make contractions!
After introducing contractions, I broke the students up into pairs to do a “Crawfish Contraction” activity. They had to match the crawfish word to the crawfish contraction. After finding all of the matches, they wrote them on the corresponding sheet and used them in sentences!
