Contracting Contractions

I made these contractions using 3 by 5 index cards. If you unfold them, you will see the two words that make up the contraction.

I have also made contracting contractions with the longer paint chips from a hardware store. They are brightly colored and quite durable.

I used the list of contractions in The Reading Teacher's Book of lists. They are neatly grouped for your use!

Evening,

I have been attempting againa and again to add a post. I have not been able to add except as Serendipty, which is the name I use for my art blog. I can write on my smartphone, but you know how long that takes.

I have some pdf files I wanted to upload this evening for you. For some reason, I can't get them to upload. They are the masters for my compound word puzzles. I will keep trying to load them for you.

I see that I have 9 followers! Thank you very much for following me.

Have a great night.

Interactive notebooks

This is a page from my interactive notebook. I grabbed a variety of paint chips for my students. My poem is about the color yellow and how I feel about it.

Vocabulary

This is a vocabulary word wall (in a jar) that I have posted in my classroom. I have the word written on it as well as the definition. Many of the words are the same as the Jenga game activity I described in an earlier post. After we read a book, entitled Miss Alanius, we added the word and definition for miscellaneous!
