Learning about Contractions

CONTRACTIONS

In Room 16 we have been learning about different language features. One of those language features has been contractions. This helps the children with not only their reading skills but also their writing. I found that the children are starting to use more contractions in their writing since we had begun learning about them. This is wonderful to see. As a learning activity, the children were given an opportunity to choose a contraction of their choice and then create visual flowers to present their contractions. The children really enjoyed this activity and this activity helped them to be able to visually retain all the new contraction words that they had learnt during our teaching session.
