Contraction Surgery

Our topic this term is "When I grow up, I want to be...."

Today we tried being surgeons. We were operating on words. 

We had to make sure we had the right tools: gloves, mask and scissors. 

We were given a piece of paper with two words on it. We had to find the contraction that matched. 

We looked at the two pieces of paper to find which letters were missing in our contraction. 

We made a cut to take out the letters that are supposed to be missing.

Then we stuck the words back together with a plaster. The plaster shows the place of the apostrophe. 

We put our finished contractions on the wall.
