Is there a doctor in the house??? A "Contraction Doctor" that is!!! It's time for a little "word surgery"... just have your lil surgeons grab their scapels {scissors} & trim away those extra letters to make a new shortcut word-don't forget to bandage it back together with a Bandaid-apostrophe! It's "Contraction Surgery"! It's super-fun to have your kiddos wear latex gloves and doctor masks also. {Maybe ask your local hospital or health department if they would donate some to your classroom.}You can also make your own from a small piece of material & thin elastic headband.
A super-big thank you to Jessica for inspiring this lil center activity pack! If you would like to check out all of the activities in this lil pack-just click HERE! You can also visit my lil shops at Teachers Pay Teachers and Teachers Notebook. Also, here is a lil freebie chart if you would like!
