From creativelyteachingfirst on IG: “Here’s how I introduce my students to contractions! Contractions can be a tricky concept for first graders! I write two words on a sentence strip. I show my students what it looks like when the two words are put together. I cut out the letters that get 'kicked out' and use a small sticky note to put the words back together. This visual helps students see what is really happening with contractions!” | Edutopia
