Contractions


We have started working on contractions. Today we worked on reading and writing contractions.
A contraction is when two words are made into one using an apostrophe. I tell the children that the apostrophe helps to "smush" the words together. We have seen a few contractions in the recent stories we have read. Today we worked with the following contractions:

I will -I'll

She will- She'll

He will- He'll

We will- We'll

They will- They'll

You will- you'll

It will- It'll
