Contraction Surgery

Apr 25, 2025 |

First graders in Mrs. Downey’s class performed word “surgery” to build contractions. All doctors took great care of their patients. We extracted extra letters and joined two words by “stitching” an apostrophe in the appropriate location. Each contraction surgeon was awarded a special certificate when all of our surgeries were completed successfully!
