Good morning, everyone! Today we’re going to have some fun learning about contractions! Now, you might be asking yourself, "What is a contraction?" Well, let’s think of it as a magic trick that helps us combine words!
Imagine you have two words, like “do not.” Instead of saying both words every time, we can magically combine them into one shorter word: don’t! Isn’t that cool?
Gather Round the Magic Box
Let’s start our lesson by gathering around our special “Word Magic Box.” Inside the box, I have many pairs of words that can be turned into contractions!
Meet a Word Buddy
I want everyone to find a partner. Each pair will take turns pulling out a pair of words from the box. Remember, you’ll be looking for two words that can be combined!
Contraction Creativity
Once you've selected your words, use them to create the contraction. For example, if you pull out “he is,” you will create “he’s.”
Share with the Class
After using the magic box, I want you to share your favourite contraction with the class and say what the two words are that you combined!
Are you ready to become contraction magicians? Remember, it’s just like a little word puzzle. Let’s see how many magical contractions you can create together. Who’s excited? Let’s begin our adventure into the world of contractions! 🌟
By using an interactive approach, children will engage with the topic in a fun and memorable way. Happy teaching!
