This week the 2nd graders learned about contractions!  To help them better understand the concept they became surgeons and performed surgery on words.  Kids took two words such as “do” and “not” and removed the “O” from “not” and bandaged them back together.  This left them with the word “don’t” with a bandage as their apostrophe.  Be sure to ask your child what words they operated on at school today!
